Rain

[Tywais]

Massive gusts of estimated 65 to 75 kmph hit ban wangtan about 30 minutes ago, power now out, but no rain yet.

TMD radar shows the main cell moving down from sansai so we might get rain shortly. Keep the hatches battened down as other storm cells are moving around the province.

Can you post a link to tmd radar, please. My bookmark shows it as not working.

Cheers.

The Met sez rain ..... but they have said that for a few days now...... When in doubt go to the real source..... Tywais...is it going to rain soon or not..... looks like possibilities now around 13:15''''

John,

a bit of rain is now falling in Mae Rim. Not heavy but its trying to build up.....lots of thunder and big clouds in the hills. Im not sure if its going to swing South and head into town at this stage it looks to be heading North East.

Temp has dropped a few degrees but humidity is still up there.

I think we would all like a good downpour soon.

Same here in Pai now with some gusty winds too.

[CMKiwi]

Strange weather just like last week.... it appears to be changing direction again and heading South. Wind has just picked up so we are likely in for a good downpour and in the next hour or so Id say CM city will see the same.

Very nice 28 celsius outside at the moment

[khunphil]

Huge storm in Lamphun , around 45 mn strong rain and lighting. Going north-east, not sure it will affact Chiangmai,,,

[cmsally]

Light rain and breeze in Tapae although a friend said strong winds near Suan Dokh area

[Gonzo the Face]

See some dark sky to the south..... any reports of rain around the Hang Dong and south areas????

[Rob8891]

Blue skies around BWT at the moment - and as for the storm yesterday, it was more like the Scotsman's Lament.....

"Here I sit, broken hearted,

Paid ma penny and only farted"

...though to be fair, we did get a wee bit of gentle rain.

[cloudhopper]

Skies are crying on Pai and the burning season here is now over

[lsk]

Storm heading from the north.

[Sparkles]

Storm heading from the north.

accuweather shows a storm front coming from the west but who cares which way it comes as long as we don't get smashed like Lamphun did last night

[slipperylobster]

Storm heading from the north.

Very gusty winds in San Sai. Hope for a nice cool evening.....I hear the wind howling from time to time..

[Puwa]

Good soaking rain started in my corner of Mae Rim at 7pm, still going strong.

[CMKiwi]

Agree Im up near Sala Cafe. Very big rain. And wind too. Grounds are loving it but the 2 dogs arent fussed. Great temp at the moment.

This storm took too long to reach Chiang Mai, but it's finally here!

[mesquite]

So any rain there in CM today?

[TheAppletons]

So any rain there in CM today?

Not as of 5:00 p.m.

[CMKiwi]

2:16pm and dark clouds are amassing behind Mae Rim. The last few days have been particularly hot and humid but hopefully this will end soon and the sky will unleash a heavenly amount of rain.

Lots of thunder at the moment..... fingers crossed we get a downpour

[Sparkles]

Yahoo weather must have heard a roll or 2 just changed their forecast from sunny to chance of thunderstorms. 38 deg at Hang Dong.Wife is washing the car !

I'm showing 70% chance at 8pm, with much cooler temps.

Big winds at Baan Naam Phrae (Hang Dong)...looking like rain.
