It's Coming down steady in Doi Saket

[whiterussian]

Not a drop near Global House, bloody show offs.

I bet the clouds/lightning are attracting all the smoke and soot particles like a sponge... maybe dumping them all on Gotlost's baan.

South of Chiangmai, about half way to Hang Dong, there has been rolling thunder for about half an hour and it just now started raining. Of course I was planning to BBQ this evening.

[whopper]

Anyone have a link for good radar for Chiang Mai ?

As the thunder keeps clapping and the lighting keeps leaping the rain just keeps coming down.

[whopper]

thanks for the links white russian

It looks like that's the end of Act 1 in Doi Saket: Rain has stopped. 1 hour of Orgasm's

[canuckamuck]

Got 1 inch here in San Sai, and we still have thunder rolling in distance

Yes thunder and lighting in the back ground. No watering of the garden tomorrow.

[chiangmaiexpat]

Aahhh finally.... a nice rain shower and a cool breeze. Sansai is refreshed! I guess everybody was looking forward to it. Let's hope it has doused some of the fires out there in the fields.

Cheers, CMX

That was certainly pleasant... and about time. Of course it happened just as I was supposed to go to a meeting. I'm going to be an hour late. I hate riding motorcycle in the rain after a hot spell. The roads are pretty slippery and the Thai drivers don't seem to care. Road spray I can live with. Dumping a bike in city traffic is not fun.

I wonder if the 1/2 hour rain will clear the air. It certainly cooled things down.

I think all you guys who washed your cars and cleaned your windows yesterday and today did the trick.

I hear it sticks better to colourful postage stamps.

After lots of dark-clouds & distant thunder, before sunset in Mae-Jo, we finally had a few heavy drops, then some more, and finally at least 30 minutes of wonderful rain, now slowly easing-off.

That's going to make the air fresh & clean for a week or more !

Perhaps I'm easily-pleased, but doncha just gotta love rain ?

[Larry]

Still a slight drizzle on Nimman, the air is filled with ozone instead of smoke, and Doi Suthep is once again visible from my balcony!!!!!

[gotlost]

The curtain went up on Act 2 in Doi Saket about 10 minutes ago. I just love that sound.

[swain]

I hope we get more in Hang Dong... its been vile. I am not sure how much we got out here so far... would love to see blue skies tomorrow.

Wow, that's a lot! Our ground barely got wet.

[WinnieTheKhwai]

This is GREAT! Only concern is that it came out of the direction of Mae Hong Son.. But the air seems clearer already, and the breeze is nice.. Opened all windows across from each other.. lovely!

Tomorrow (or Saturday) the hot season kicks in.

[DavidOxon]

Just a few spots out here - Hang Dong Big C

[Maejo Man]

Well it has certainly cleaned the air somewhat, as I can see the lights quite clearly on the temple on Doi Suthep. Bodes for a pleasant day tomorrow.
