Costas2008 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 balo, please be kind enough and blow some rain towards us in Khon Kaen. It hasn't rained for a long time now and I'm fed up watering the garden. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MrWorldwide Posted March 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2015 costas, your garden would revel in this - it's coming down in buckets here in beautiful central Pattaya. A real wet season deluge after months of almost nothing - very, very welcome. I've posted this before, but good content never gets old and it's entirely relevant: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity11 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 i used to think July first then i was corrected, it begins in may, this is a one-off? Can someone please repair my roof leaks cheap or for free??????????? (i rent) BTW how can i find out who owns my building (not the landlord who contracts with the owner?) I am under the impression the owner is responsible for the roof. Though i know it might open a can of worms. The simplest things can be so complicated here and vice verse. Perhaps i need to start my own thread but thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) No rainy season, just a temporary storm situation. Weather warning as of today: Weather Warning"Summer Thunderstorm in upper Thailand" No. 16 Time Issued : March 24, 2015 The high pressure area from China remains extended to upper Thailand and the South China Sea while the westerly trough from Myanmar will move across the North. During 24-27 March, summer thunderstorms, as well as gusty wind and hail, are expected some of the North, the Northeast, the Central and the East. People should beware of the severe weather conditions and stay safe. The advisory is in effect on 24 March 2015 at 11.00 a.m. The next issue will be at 11.00 a.m., 25 March 2015. Funny enough: we also had fair amount of downpour this night/morning, 80 km west of Khon Kaen So its a game of chance.

balo Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I call it rainy season when we can expect a few showers weekly , and the sky gets more cloudy , I know suddenly we can have dry periods of up to a few weeks . But for me this is the start of rainy season and the umbrella is with me wherever I go . And then the "wet season" starts with Songkran . Get ready.

guzzi850m2 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yes it was a huge one, we were out picking up our son at Maryvit school at 1500 and then drove down to Beach Road in the truck, beach road flooded (as usual), water off the beach turned muddy and the water on the road smelling like a sewer. So now city hall have a pre rainy season scenario and can act accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitawatWatawit Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It is NOT the start of the rainy season. Drama queens indeed. Every year, for the past decade or more that I can remember, we have been hit by a storm or heavy squall about one month before Songkran. It will now be hot and dry for the next couple of months. Relax, DQs and go back to sleep as you are approaching the middle of the hot season, not the rainy season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
