BKK Sukhumvit... moderate rain earlier this morning, light now around 9 am... No wind at all...

If not for the news about the supposed big storm, I wouldn't think it's anything but a normal day... thus far.

For goodness sake, what's the big deal, you don't have a tropical storm, you have a depression, with winds of 30 of MPH. This is nothing, the Philippines get on average 21 full blown typhoons a year, these typhoons with winds of up to 200 KPH and hundreds of mm of rain during the strike period.

Now in the Phils it is wise to stock up on food but not frozen as in 90% of the cases power goes down for days on end.

So think about it strong winds and heavy rain for days, power out and water up to your waist, and you people panic about a minor tropical depression, sad! Very sad !

THe phillipines will soon be wiped off the map and have horrible government prep. THat is why over 60 percent of its inhabitants relocate to other countries, after the ASEAN union opens in a year, the country will relocate 85 percent to other countries..

Lucky sobs can Speak english also so they will be stealing thai workers positions round and round..

So sorry, I thought this post was discussing the weather not politics, or language abilities.why do posters so very often go off topic, and answer with very silly comments ?

Do you always get so excited about a pending storm?

[Halion]

This is Thailand and this is the wet season(Monsoon) which are predominately from the south west as and as such will effect the eastren coast and provences initialy. Same every year which natural variations in levels of rainfall. Nothing new .

The current hype created by the Thai authorities over this impending tropical storm which was down graded on landfall in Veitnam over 1000 km away to a tropical depression leaves me bewildered in the manner that people are reacting to it. It will most probably result in extra rainfall initiating on the Laos and Esan provences but why this should be cause for many to prepare for a seige mentality is purely down to the lack of faith in the authorities ability to do anything positive and proactive.

It has little to do with the weather.

In matters of weather, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Many a time, all around the world, people have been caught up in thunderstorms, snowstorms, blizzards and ending up spending hours, even overnight in their cars. That's why in Europe, most cars have warm blankets in the boot just in case.

I have been in a few typhoon 8 scenarios in Hkg where it was dry with a gentle breeze blowing. At the same time, I have been in typhoon 3 where you would be nuts to venture outdoors. Moral of the story? Mother Nature has her own agenda and no man can outguess her so be respectful and err on the side of caution.
