Does anyone know a web site that will show the rain fall in CM for the last few months? I thought July had more rain than usual this year.

Thanks.

Thai meteorological department says rainfall for July 2015 was 120.2 mm, less than average by 20 mm. Go to the link below, then click on "more detail".

That site says that the north received 24mm or 14% above average for the month of July.

I'm sure "the north" encompasses more locations than Chiang Mai. As stated previously, if you click on "more details" it gives the statistics by city.

The first site has annual data for Chiang Mai and Thailand which seems to indicate that there is not much difference in recent years from the 10 year average (not including 2015 which is incomplete data).

If that is correct, what is all the talk about a multi-year drought that has been bantered around for several years?

Another source of the same data: http://www.joelandchoom.net/tmdsummaries.html

July was slightly dryer than usual, so fairly normal. June however was MUCH dryer.

And overall the rainfall to date this year is a lot below normal.

Apparently that is an expected effect of El Nino.
