T_Dog Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It has been raining lightly with occasional heavier rain for a solid eight hours now in Mae Taeng. No breaks at all today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 "Drizzle" all day yesterday and the same today I suspect, the most miserable of rains,reminds one of too many dark, dank days in the UK, one of the reasons I suspect ,so many of us end up in Thailand. Would much prefer a proper downpour,with the freshness in the air after its ended. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you complain about the rain be specific as to the kind you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkles Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Had to go back 7 pages to find this thread which I guess indicates how little rain we are getting. While Chiang Rai seems to be getting its share dams (Bhumibhol) Tak and (Sirilit) Ultradit are at 30% capacity with usable capacity at around 4%.Not that far from here as the crow flies. Worrying times for farmers.We have just had another passing shower at Hang Dong which has hardly laid the dust and I guess about 8 weeks of the usual defined rainy season left.

femi fan Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I have an explanation based on observations of previous years. My observations only count for the chiang mai area, but my theory would suggest a much wider area... This year we had a lot more rain than usual in june, in fact it was very rainy for june. The last time this happened, it feels like about four years or so ago to me, we then had a relatively dry july and august, with full rainy season-style rains not coming to us until september. In other words if we get unusually high rains in june we get much less than normal at the start of the real rainy season (ie july and august in the north and down to bangkok), and only really get proper rain in the second half of the rainy season. So perhaps it'll continue to be the way it is for another four weeks or so. Edited July 22, 2014 by femi fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siamod Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Nice little flood on the roads. I have to wait at the traffic light at the phucome intersection and my feets completely in the water, nearly15/20 cm high...but at least it´s warm water.

I think your theory might have taken a little water on board.Its raining steadily in Hang Dong now and the skies opened up last night with hours of torrential rain. In our part of Hang Dong June was not above average according to my rain guage. I think the weather is impossibe to forecast, the Thai weather boys are rarely correct in their forecasting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
