My wife is in the construction business and is getting hammered by all this rain.

The whole planning revolves around December/January being dry, but dry it ain't at the moment

In my 17 years in Thailand, getting rain like this in January I can count on 1 hand!

Trees like it. That's where we get wood from.

wondered how long it would be before there was a thread about the unusual weather! strange indeed, though for most very welcome, remember showers this time of year, or the odd squall coming off the sea, but these are prolonged rain showers...............?

Glad to get some respite from the ongoing dust explosion around Jomtien end of town!!

It is actually quite pleasant! Drops the temp and gets the junk out of the air. But dang, it really rained today!

Yep, ain't it great wallowng through the mud instead??

Could do with some rain up here in Chiang Mai .Been very hot today and last night .

A fairly serious shower just landed on Ban Chang as I ordered dinner about 45 minutes ago. I spoke to a friend from around 15km NE of here at 18:00 and she told me it was pouring down where she was, although it was still dry in Ban Chang. This one came from inland judging by the time difference between the cell-phone weather report and being inundated mid-roast lamb.

Today's rain circled around us a couple of times like it was trying to decide where to dump it's load then headed over to Marbachan

i was there in oct , wadding through waist deep water in soi bukaew

rain is better than snow !!

Are you very short or did you step in a pot hole?

Our trees plants & veggies are loving it & it keeps the temp down! Not to great for construction.

looks like it is raining non stop since the day I know you....

No joke, January 2010 might be the most rainiest in the history of Thailand. The showers and thunderstorms were so frequent as in April (on average). For example in Bangkok areas rained about 100 mm, in some spots even more than 200 mm which is equivalent to some months during the rainy season. Anyhow I'm very happy to see the green grass around and let's admit that rain during the dry(cool) season can't hurt, it's just beneficial
