Rain

[narkeddiver]

Rainwatch!

Thunderstorms predicted for 1pm, then warnings of heavy thunderstorms tonight through to tomorrow evening. Temperatures down to highs of 31-33℃.

I now have the theme to Crimewatch (Uk) as an ear worm

I would keep an eye out for rain but can't see anything because of the smog

Fingers crossed for 13:00

3 gusts of wind at 3pm, but no rain. They smelt of rain though.

[zippydedodah]

wife's mom said it rained in Nakhon Sawan last two days... sister in BKK says is "smells" like rain... keep your fingers crossed

and your umbrella handy!

I hope it rains from 7pm to 10pm tonight. My next door neighbor is having a party and the speaker setup is 15 meter from my bedroom. Why in the name of all that is holy, can not Thai's play music at a decent level???????

Don't be miserable, join them. Eat their food and drink their beer, enjoy their company. You need to live with them!

Rain, Lamphun, 17.41, first of the year.

[BillyBobThai]

Was outside 30 min ago and felt a few drops here in Hang Dong. My prayers might be answered.

[WinnieTheKhwai]

Actually looks like Lamphun is being wiped off the map.

[Tywais]

Looks like it is all East with a patch North and South. Wundermap

Some of the thai sources are saying this is a cloud seeded rain. Is this possible?

There has been a request put in on the 21st so maybe.

Chiang Mai provincial governor Wichien Phutthiwinyu has asked the Air Force to dispatch aircraft to release water into the air. The governor has also asked the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation to plan cloud seeding operations to alleviate the haze situation.

So far this year, 669 forest fires have burned through 6,212 rai of land in Chiang Mai; most of the burnt areas were within national forest preserves.

Very small but intense storm south of San Kamphaeng. Hurricane force winds & torrential rain for a minute or so

Raining still.

[Joop50]

Strong eastern wind followed by 45 minutes of some moments of heavy rain and some thunder which ended half hour ago.
Happy in Thaton, better than nothing.

It has been on the verge of raining at Thapae Gate for the last few hours - very cool breeze. I am guessing it will either never happen at all or pour down like crazy when I am on my way to eat dinner somewhere on my bicycle.

I recommend the saddle as rice is likely to fall off the tyres unless they are quite wide.

Round 2 Lamphun, real heavy, big drops. Glorious.

The kaset rain making aircraft have been up for at least the last few weeks. I saw one land at about about 16:30 going over Big C Hangdong road.

This was a storm that was forecast & headed over from Hanoi direction. Perhaps seeding helps when atmospheric conditions are right.

We didn't get a drop of rain in Mae Taeng, but the winds were quite strong.

[WinnieTheKhwai]

No rain here either (Hang Dong), but it still cleared the air!

[T_Dog]

Big storms today in Chiang Dao and around Mae Ngat Dam. 1 inch diameter hail reported. No rain in Mae Taeng but we could hear the thunder and had nice outflow winds.

Edit to add photo: Looks a normal piece of hail was formed and then got tossed back up for a heavy dose of clear icing! The updrafts must have been intense. (5 km from Mae Ngat Dam.)

[Joop50]

Heavy rains yesterday evening in Thaton, Mae Ai!, Very nice air this morning and went out for a long mountain climb.

[ARISTIDE]
