Rain

[WinnieTheKhwai]

Great news! It's not uncommon to have the odd shower a couple times before 15 April. Very good when it happens.

Often this is the change to even colder weather.

What's the temperatures like right now in Chiang Mai? I get the highs and lows on the Internet but if proper cool season it takes a really long time to get to the high, then rapidly cools off.

Bucketing down in BWT!

It is not hot and not cold - very comfortable, but not yet "cool" season in the way that it will (probably) become in a few weeks.

It is a lovely day though. I hope we do get a bit of rain to improve the air.

Yesterday there was a downpour at 7 AM just south of Mae Taeng that soaked me through on the motorcycle. I never even considered rain when I left CM so no rain gear. Today it is quite dark up here and a few sprinkles of rain falling now and then.

The tenth of December and it should be cold and misty, not raining! Half an hour of solid rain here near CMU so far. Wondering how widespread this rain is.

Yea, at least a half hour of rain this morning here too. Makes it hard to live a normal life, doesn't it.

I like it. The first five years I lived here the seasons were very stable and predictable and changed from one to the other overnight. The last two years have been quite different.

Nice steady rain for the past fifteen minutes, north of C.M. town towards Mae Jo. Anybody else...?

I live near you and yes it was absolutely pouring for about 30 minutes. I couldn't believe how much came down in a short period of time. Was it raining in town?

[naboo]

Not in Nong Hoi. Hot here. Sweating with a fan on in January, I should be wrapped up in a jacket with woolly hat.

[trainman34014]

Nowt in Hang Dong area.

[funcat]

It was raining in Mae Rim for about 30 min and still quite hot ! Definitely not the "usual" weather for this time of the year !!

[expatmakmak]

Fon dog! Fon dog for about 20 minutes now in Muang Chiang mai. wet mak!

[expatmakmak]

Can't believe I was kon lek! Must confess, mee boner nit noi!

[Ulysses G.]

We've enjoyed a few overcast days here in Mae-Jo, including a sprinkling on Thursday-morning, but today a nice air-cleaning 2-hour steady-rain, just what the garden needs ! I blame Childrens-Day for it !

[trainman34014]

Raining in Hang Dong since 8am and still raining now. Good to have it ,even though it has stopped me painting.

[expatmakmak]

Still going strong here in the old city. Looks like I'm stuck drinking cafe yen all day! Not going to rise to taunts by other members who clearly wish they were the first to announce todays fon dog. Next time wake up earlier!

You can blame me. We cut our grass short yesterday hoping that it would crispy-fry for the dry season and not need to be cut until April. Looks like we will be at it again in two weeks.

I was just sure it was going to rain somewhere nearby today. The frogs at my pond were in hight spirits and resounding voice last night.

There were a few dark clouds over the mountains today when I was coming from Mae Sariang. Turned sunny again when I left the mountains at Hot.

Well, at least he's honest.

We are watching some monster cumulus clouds east of Mae Taeng at the moment. They appear to be going above 25,000 feet so I'll bet it is raining out that way. I expect there will be some lightning to watch once the sun goes down.

[MESmith]

tmd radar is showing quite an intense storm to the west of Lamphun. Unfortunately, they only update every hour (halfpast the hour) at this time of year, so can't really track where its's heading.

Edit. If you run the "loop", it's heading this way
