Rain

[Maejo Man]

This is what's doing the damage.....Nock-Ten

[BarnicaleBob]

All this rain today is my fault, I should have know this would happen when I washed my car.

[WholeHearted]

I can confirm consistent rainfall on the west side of the moat.

It's been raining all night near Suthep Road. What happens in CM when there's heavy, lengthy rain? Is it business-as-usual? Does life shut down? I think some streets may get flooded. This storm may last a few days, right? (I have an appointment and I don't know if I should keep it.)

[chaoyang]

another vote for the return of Gotlost and CHiangmaifun too....

Ever notice how many old time members are no longer here? Shows it is pretty hard to stay on this forum without getting banned.

The river has risen 600 mm in the last day with the constant rain. What's in doing down your way Gonzo?

[simoncnx]

Has anyone got the YTD rainfall figure? How does it compare to previous years?

LOL, YES you should keep it. Come on, it's just rain. In England this goes on for weeks.

The only time when it gets different is when we get a little later into the rainy season (next month) and the river starts rising. Then there may or may not be an alert.

This, on the other hand, is just rain. Maybe you get a drainhole here and there that's blocked so you get a bit of water or big puddles in some sois, that's it.

Oh ya? In 2004 and 2005 (if I recall the years right), the Ping left its banks and flooded big time. Both times I was trapped in the house (south of Nong Hoi) because all roads in area were seriously inundated. In all it was rather fun and an adventure (just waded though the water to a local hut/store and drank beer with the locals), but I'm sure many failed to see the excitement. It's actually amazing to see what the power of a river can do once it leaves its banks.

The only reason I clicked on this was to see Dave2's photos of the rain. Disappointed.

[GUANO]

[canuckamuck]

It looks like they have blocked the site where they show the Mae Ping levels.

At least I am getting a 403 forbidden error.

Dave 2, this is off topic, but it is easy to get a photobucket account and then link the images. It works better than the forum software.

The royal irrigation site is back on line, and as of 07.00 today shows the river at Narawat bridge at 3.69 Mtrs bank overflow starts at 3.7 Mtrs

Added chart..

[zippydedodah]

here is Sansai Noi, every time it rains really hard like this, our water pressure disappears... no water makes it upstairs and it is a trickle downstairs. Of course, if i turn on the pump, pressure comes back up and the upstairs toilets will fill and flush, but how come this happens when it rains hard?

Anyone have any insights?

[jackr]

Perhaps a number of things, but first thing that comes to mind is motor(s) tripping out (flooded). Loss of juice and gunked up intake filter(s) would also be up there I'd say.

After a gorgeous sunny day it's totally pouring buckets here for 20 mins now in Nong Hoy/ Pa Daed.

[naboo]

Year to date 987.8mm of rain. An average year would see Chiang Mai hit 989mm at the end of September and 1183mm by the end of the year.

[cloudhopper]

Cats and dogs up here in Pai this morning.

[Mickeem]

It;s tipping it down here in Tambon Haiya
