?? "in summer"

Seems to be some kind of special translation

Guess its soon to be expected.

Would be consistent with the weather pattern here in Khon Kaen province.

Again and again small thunderstorms and some rain (since days).

Strange.

This has a ring of truth to it.

News... not so much.

I think we can say we will see storms many places in Summer.

ARRRH, there be a storm a coming, felt it in my big toe last night.

which summer ?

So, is it arriving by road or train? Clearly, not by air or it would have to pass over a few other provinces first.

Just twigged. Probably referring to Surin in Pattaya.....

Or maybe to the Surin Island(s?) in the Andaman Sea???

Excellence in journalism at its best here.

Maybe too early to mock.

There have been a few storms in the area already.

I have heard that there is currently a huge storm in Kalasin. Not too far from Surin.

I hear roofs coming off and windows being blown out.

Clear skies tonight.

It say's North Eastern Province, its us alright, God help the tin roofers.

The weather has been somewhat strange the past couple of weeks, thundershowers in February though not unknown are unusual. Wonder if we're going to get early rains this year, be nice if Songkran was dampened down a bit like it was a couple of years ago.

A tropical storm is forecast to arrive in summer? I think it's going to get dark tonight too.

Are we there yet?

Not yet

it's here now!

it's here now!

Just poked my head outside. A few clouds but no wind or rain. Can see a few stars.
