naboo Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I was going to revive this thread to post about the lack of rain this year. I may do a statistical analysis gotlost style once the daughter has gone to bed if I can find the pages of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Can't find all the data, so a summary: Year to date, we're 334mm, against 375 average YTD by the end of June. I remember the stats being quite similar last year. Northern north Thai provinces: ...........................This YTD...........Ave YTD Chiang Mai.............334...................375 Lamphun................295...................345 Mae Hongson.........309...................430 Chiang Rai.............335...................545 Phayo.....................261...................405 Phrae.....................438...................405 Nan.........................346...................460 We are currently behind, as we were last year. However, the rainy season has a long way to go with over a metre of rain in an average year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the rainy season has a long way to go with over a metre of rain in an average year. Well, on our plot of land, we seem to be above average. South of SK, normally a rain shadow compared to the rest of the valley. Not this year. Also, I see a lot of heavy low cloud on the mountains east & north east of CM, which I interpret as rain.

Gonzo the Face Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 One of the great things about this particular thread is the historical value. If you think or think you remember something in the rain mode, in years gone past.... go back in our own TV Time Machine and check out what happened at this particular time in years past.

realthaideal Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 So, who else thinks it's been unusually dry this month? Wish I knew where my links to recorded data are. I've only been able to find yearly averages. Who has links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 So, who else thinks it's been unusually dry this month? Wish I knew where my links to recorded data are. I've only been able to find yearly averages. Who has links? I agree that it has been significantly less then normal. August 2013 - 297mm. August 2014 so far - 161mm http://www.accuweather.com/en/th/chiang-mai/317505/august-weather/317505?monyr=8/1/2014&view=table# Averages: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkles Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Depends where the readings are taken.huge difference from district to district,If they were taken at our place in Hang Dong they would be well below according to my rain guage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realthaideal Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) I've seen many potent storms appear on the tmd website and hit hard in Lamphun n Lampang, but way less hitting the top part of the North, from Chiang Rai down to us.

MESmith Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I think the rainy season so far has been just fine. But I'm not a rice farmer hoping the reservoirs will be full for a dry season crop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konini Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 What I find really unusual is that during rainy season we tend to get a heavy, short downpour every other day or so, but this year we seem to be going a week or more in between those downpours. I feel for the farmers, it must be looking like a tough year ahead for them. I suppose if I was a negative nelly I could that that the lack of rain could also potentially lead to an early start to the burning. But I'm not, and I'm sure it won't be any worse than this year was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
