We've been 'lashed' with heavy rain since Thursday night, one hell of a storm over Hat Yai early hours of Friday morning. Rained all day Friday and most of last night, not heavy but persistent. We've a lull today with even a hint of sunshine and patches of blue sky. 

 

Looking out of the window the river is up but still with plenty of capacity, lets hope these extra lashings don't push the flood defenses too far!
