thaiduncankk Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 No mention of Khon Kaen, but nearly every surrounding province get mentioned ! If it hits the said provinces, it would be impossible to avoid here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partenavia Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 This cyclone is not strong, and its moving NNE, and not E. There is a lot of rain associated with it, but much as we need it, I suspect Thailand is not going to see as much as we would wish. True to form though the Met office are predicting the worst!!

DrTuner Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) What's the current probability of La Nina? I'm thinking of investing in rubber boat companies. EDIT: ah right, around 75%. http://iri.columbia.edu/our-expertise/climate/forecasts/enso/current/ . Prepare for floods.
