phuketsub Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I saw this on ThaiPBS and they had an image of the low pressure trough across the region from the Japanese radar, but they failed to specify why they thought any of the low pressure cells would advance in our direction. They just said 'the monsoon will strengthen' and didn't even say whether it would be from the East or West. Anyway, the ETA for my soi to dry up if it stays dry is tomorrow (Sunday), after which time I will make a bee-line to the nearest mom & pop shop to stock up on beer. I hope they are wrong though.
