Rain

[T_Dog]

We are getting some (what seem to be) high outflow winds, but nothing showing up on radar.

http://www2.tmd.go.th/radar/lmp.php

Radar has not been updated since yesterday

And it is still down. Friend told me it is raining in the Mae On district right now and tried the WX radar but no joy.

[chiang mai]

I can see for miles and miles and miles, oh yea!

Finally!

[Konini]

There we go. strong rain in Saraphi 6.35 pm but again only a short wile. The clouds look hopefull though,

The rain might not have lasted long, but the breeze coming through my open window is like out of an air conditioner

I think that there were only 3 drops, but you're right about that breeze. Welcome home.........

Wind blowing very strong gusts from south east, dark sky is near, rain is coming up.

That wind has just hit the city - hopefully the rain will follow this time.

[chiang mai]

Showers started in Watkate but not too serious, yet!

[Thailand]

Lots of huff and puff and nary a drop!

[dickyknee]

I just heard a few drops bounce off the tin roof, then it stopped *sigh*

[Tywais]

Lots of rain at the university (CMU). Just winding down now though.

[siamod]

Incredible 10 minutes of rain near CMU

[Konini]

All hot air as far as we're concerned in the city - it's done this three times in the last week. The sky is brightening as I type.

It's teasing us.

You're right it's teasing me for sure, not a drop at Saraphi but there is hope, more thunder clouds on their way. At least the heat is blowed away for a while and no polution anymore.

I think somebody upstairs is having a laugh at our expense. Got into the habit of counting between the lightning and thunder then divide by 3 to figure how many km away the storm was, as a kid. Never got out of it. So right now as I type there's wrath of God stuff almost directly overhead and not a drop of rain. Wierdest weather I've seen for a long time...

And of course, power's out now...

unless your neighbours are having a "well, the smog's gone, it's ok to burn again" burning frenzy

Wah, a rain shower moved over Saraphi, strong rain for about 20 minutes.

[Tywais]

Very heavy in Mae Hia. First time this year I had to turn the windshield wipers on coming home from work. Maybe nearly time to pull my garden sprinklers out and put them away.

[dickyknee]

I saw the yellow/red blob on the radar, but again it was a bit of an anticlimax in town, just a little drizzle.

You know this Quote system defaults to BBCode Mode now

But if you click that 1st icon in the upper left of the reply box it turns it back off.

Which is easier to deal with IMHO

On the rain side we only had some big drops & the smell of rain on ChangKlan

But Man was it hot right before those drops!

You and your sprinkler are about 22 kilometers from here, but I don't see much rain nor hear much bass at the moment. Have you got that burm started?

Just now one loud clap of thunder though.

The best rain film ever was probably Rod Steiger/Ray Bradbury/The Illustrated Man/1968

Now THAT was some rain.

(That's Bradbury not Burberry)

[OldChinaHam]

Actually I think the title was "The Long Rain" or "Death By Rain", or something.

[naboo]

Good rain left us with enough power for energy efficient light bulbs only.

[Ulysses G.]

It sprinkled twice this evening and I was afraid that no one was going to record it for posterity.

Would hate to see the thread dry out! We've had three nights of lightning, thunder, and wind with just a tease of a few drops of rain.

Weird weather

This is off of Facebook today at 16:00
Samoeng area. Good amount of Hail

They said they never saw anything like it & it looked like salt it was so plentiful

Major freaking storm south of San Kamphaeng earlier. Never seen wind so strong. Major damage to trees . Will know more tomorrow when daylight arrives.

[naboo]

And we are off again!

Mae Hia also. Serious wind and concerned about one of my trees snapping. Power out now for a while and on the tablet.
