rubl Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Woke up 2AM as it started to rain in the Dusit area here in Bangkok. Not really much though. At least till 10AM (travelling to work) no rain to be seen. Really fascinating the 'localness' of these thunderstorms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpofc Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 does anyone have an email contact for the two buffalos responsible? I would like to thank them. My house has been like a Kiln for the past few weeks. I was thinking of opening a pottery studio. Even the deep interior walls were extremely hot to touch. Welcome relief from a record breaking hot season. Bucketing down, I was busy running around clearing gutters, drains and downpipes, checking for leaks, scrubbing down the back deck. Most physical thing I have done for weeks. Buffalos and rockets? Gotta be happy with that. Beats listening to the incessant beat of the 'Climate Change' drum. Amazing Thailand! Jing Jing!

nauseus Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Localized weather shows that the true SW Monsoon not arrived yet! When we get days of rain on the south-west wind then that;s the time. But the rain is a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBird Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Well, oxes/animals are pretty good at predicting weather (sensitive to air pressure). Plus, the old lady down the road said she felt it in her knees. So I knew it was coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the old lady down the road said she felt it in her knees. So I knew it was coming. She felt it coming? May have been talking about another matter. To clarify, did you happen to ask her whether it was the left knee, right knee of the fan knee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) "As predicted by two oxes.." TIT 21st century.. Oh give it a rest. In 21st century America ... Every February 2, thousands gather at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to await the spring forecast from a special groundhog. Known as Punxsutawney Phil, this groundhog will emerge from his simulated tree trunk home and look for his shadow, which will help him make his much-anticipated forecast. According to legend, if Phil sees his shadow the United States is in store for six more weeks of winter weather. But, if Phil doesn’t see his shadow, the country should expect warmer temperatures and the arrival of an early spring. And when the tsunami hit in 2004, the animals all knew about it and headed for higher ground long before people woke up to the reality. Before the giant waves slammed into Asian coastlines, animals seemed to know what was about to happen. Dogs refused to leave home, elephants screamed and ran for the high ground, bats fled and flamingos abandoned low-lying areas.

".......does anyone have an email contact for the two buffaloes responsible? " The buffaloes to which you refer are actually (and I stand to be corrected) White Lamphun Cattle and not Asian water buffaloes (Carabao (tagalog). https://www.google.co.th/search?q=thai+cattle+breeds&rlz=1C1GNAM_enTH684TH684&espv=2&biw=1360&bih=599&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiKxM-9o97MAhUcSY8KHVzMDgoQsAQILw#imgrc=vLZY6wZ3LoXNrM%3A They are pampered from birth to death. I imagine a few discreet inquiries in the Chitralada area of Dusit may help with your curiosity. Next year clean the gutters and downpipes before the rainy season starts.
