Five days of blue skies ended. Currently having torrential rain up here in Mae Taeng at 11 PM from a very severe thunderstorm. Power is out and lakes of water outside. Now I see why the flash flood warnings were issued, as the streams in the mountains have to be over capacity.

Just started to chuck it down at Jed Yot

it is the rainy season, is it not??

Not a drop near BigC in Mae Hia. Is this going to be the 2012 Rain Topic?

Bit of rain is overdue actually; as of July we were below average in rainfall. Waiting for the August figures now.

This was not your usual rain. I would call it an apocalypse-now category storm with the amount of water that came out of the sky. Had over two hours of lightning strikes and continuous thunder. Never say anything like it.

Well I'll state something that's not so "bloody obvious" then: the farmers here in Buriram are praying for rain, and it is of interest to know what is going on in other parts of the country.

It has been way to dry up here as well and the irrigation district actually had to ration water early last month. We got daily rains most of August but very dry for the last five days. It almost feels like the rainy season is ending. The storms last night were isolated cells as the storm remnants move through from what I understand. Looks like you guys in Buriram could benefit from another typhoon coming across.

Last night's prolonged & heavy thunderstorm was the third night in-a-row, that we've had heavy rain, here in Mae-Jo.

From the weather-map & flood-warnings, not likely to be the last, for a few days more.

Pissing down in Hang Dong now--wait for the floods, at least in our crappy Moo Bahn anyway.

Me either. The paddy land around my antenna farm in Doi Saket is under water. Still raining but not as heavy so hope the road back to Pai stays open...

The rain, on the Chiang Mai plain, is falling this morning again ... but soft & gentle as an angel's kiss.

It was heavy most of the night. i am all for rain all night and little during the daytime.

Mrs has left for Pai 2 hours ago. I will put it up here if she lets me know of any problems on the way.

Good for the garden as well as the gardener.

The rain in Pai, comes mainly from the sky!
