This year to experience more rainfall than last year

rain1.jpg

BANGKOK, 23 June 2016 (NNT) - The Meteorological Department has revealed that Thailand this year will experience more rainfall than last year, especially after the second week of July.

Department Director-General Wanchai Sakudomchai revealed that during June 25-26, the low pressure system in the South China Sea will intensify and move ashore in Vietnam, causing rain in the southern, central, eastern and northeastern regions.

After the second week of July, scattered rainfall is expected to spread throughout the country and persist until October. The rainy forecast is welcome news to many farmers that have suffered from prolonged drought earlier in the year.

"The Meteorological Department has revealed that Thailand this year will experience more rainfall than last year"

Genius. pure genius.

Somebody has woken up to the cycle of la Nina. A tad behind everyone else, but they got there in the end.

Where do they find these people? Is having your picture in the paper *really* that important?

It's going to rain right up to the end of October.

Give or take the last couple of million years has this ever happened before?

And there was a rumour going around that it was called the wet season but it's only a rumour.

But those monks seem to disappear for 3 months around that time of year every year.

What are they up to?

Fix your radar TMD. Its broken as usually. Then you just may. see something.

They won't see anything until the water fails to drain.

Back before the 2011 Bangkok Water Drainage Delay, water began failing to drain after Tropical Storm Nock-ten hit northern and northeastern Thailand in July causing Flash Water Drainage Delays; waters were failing to drain all the way down the Chao Phraya for months, but only when they failed to drain in Bangkok in October did they get of their <deleted> and flail uselessly around for months (until the waters drained naturally).

Thankfully this year's La Niña isn't going to be as strong as that one...

Yep, their action plan implemented thus far to perfection.

Committee Responsible for solving the drought crisis Action Plan (CRAP):

  1. Wait.
  2. Change name to Committee Responsible for solving the flood crisis
  3. Prepare tugboats and rope
  4. Wait...

It's the rainy season. The weather in Thailand is predictable and boring, it's going to rain for 6 months off and on, then it will be mostly dry for another 6 months - is all anyone ever needs to know. It will nearly always be hot and humid. Why all these weather forcasts as if it is a temperate country with with an unpredictable climate?

Ok I wasn't here last year during rainy season but all this pissing and moaning about how dry it is ticked me off, so being a native American I did a rain dance Thailand you now owe 35 million baht for my service or I will stop the rain.

Nothing to do with La Nina. The PM promised he would bring rain to Thailand some months back. Don't you remember he encouraged Thais to do the traditional rain dance and .... bingo, it has now rained! Took a while but he delivered.

We got hit by a flood two years ago and i never want to experience anything similar again. Never ever in my few years I might have.

. D E S T R U C T I O N pure.

But the flood in Sisaket wasn't caused by too much rain. They kept two dams to 130 % full, knew that they're built with shitty material and it was clear that something like that would happen.

It didn't even rain when it hit us. All involved knew that the dams were too full, but nobody released any water,. That's human stupidity and I don't know for what reason you'd keep dams full in the middle of the rainy season.

Luckily, I received some financial help from relatives back home, which I had never expected. Then you see who your friends really are.

It's called the rainy season, dude! Now it may not rain as much as some want, but it's still the rainy time of the year...been going on each and every year for at least hundreds and probably thousands of years.

Guess he skipped the day in meteorological school when they covered that....it was probably a sunny day and he went to the beach instead.

      Thailand Confirms Readiness for Earthquakes and Tsunamis

      Picture courtesy of INN News Thailand's Deputy Interior Minister has assured the nation of its preparedness to handle potential earthquakes and tsunamis. Six Andaman coastal provinces are set for regular emergency drills as part of ongoing efforts. Concerns over seismic threats in the Gulf of Thailand were dismissed. On 7th July, Deputy Interior Minister Theerarat Samrejwanich, along with key officials, held a press briefing at the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation. The focus was on public understanding and alert systems for earthquakes and tsunamis. Theerarat emphasised that global climate changes are increasing natural disaster risks. Therefore, a proactive approach is essential. The Ministry, in collaboration with relevant entities, continues to prioritise preparedness, ensuring personnel and equipment are ready to alleviate public concerns. The meeting mandated regular preparedness exercises in six key provinces: Ranong, Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi, Trang, and Satun. Referring to recent earthquakes near India's Nicobar Islands and Japan, Deputy Meteorological Department Chief Nathawut stated that while global monitoring is effective, these events pose no tsunami threat. The Nicobar incident was a horizontal quake, unlikely to trigger a tsunami, and Japan's distance ensures no impact on Thailand. Deputy Geology Department Chief Sumet reported 114 regional tremors from 24 June to 4 July, affirming no tsunami risk from these events or any current Gulf of Thailand fault lines. Deputy Chief of Disaster Prevention Pasakorn Bunnarak mentioned that Thailand operates two tsunami buoys in the Indian Ocean and Andaman Sea. These provide ample warning, with response times between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the location. Theerarat concluded by asserting that while natural disasters cannot be prevented, their impacts can be mitigated with well-maintained, fully operational equipment.

      Drug-Crazed Man Kills Disabled Neighbour by Stuffing Him Into Drain

      Picture courtesy of Amarin. A 63-year-old disabled man has died in a horrifying incident in Suphan Buri Province after allegedly being assaulted and forced into a roadside drain by a neighbour who was reportedly under the influence of drugs. The victim, Mr Suthep, who suffers from reduced mobility and use of his arms and legs, was discovered unresponsive inside the drain outside a house in Moo 4, Suan Taeng Subdistrict, Mueang District. A passerby spotted his body and alerted emergency services, who attempted CPR, but were unable to save him. Police later arrested 36-year-old Mr Anucha, a neighbour of the deceased, who was behaving erratically and making incoherent statements. A urine test confirmed the presence of illegal substances in his system. According to Pol. Col. Wanchai Khawram, Superintendent of Mueang Suphan Buri Police Station, Mr Anucha initially gave a bizarre account of events. He claimed that Mr Suthep had told him he was a member of Thailand’s elite Navy SEAL unit and dared him to “put him to the test.” Mr Anucha alleged that Mr Suthep willingly entered the drainpipe while he simply watched. Police, however, dismissed this version of events, noting Mr Anucha’s drug-addled state and the victim’s physical disabilities, which would have made independent movement into the pipe virtually impossible. Investigations revealed that the two men had argued prior to the incident, though the cause of the dispute remains unclear. It is now believed that Mr Anucha forcibly placed Mr Suthep into the pipe, where he later died. Authorities charged Mr Anucha with causing the death of another person through assault and drug use, and have taken him into custody for further questioning. He was also escorted to the crime scene to assist in reconstructing the events leading up to the victim’s death. Mr Phet 52, the homeowner where the incident took place, said Mr Suthep had been living there with his younger brother. Both were unemployed and survived by collecting recyclables and occasionally receiving food donations from neighbours or local temples. The motive for the fatal act remains under investigation, with police continuing to interrogate Mr Anucha in an effort to determine what sparked the deadly altercation.
