Rainy season will start at the end of May

 

IMG_1288.png

 

Thailand will officially enter rainy season at the end of this month and the rain situation this year will be normal without an El Nino phenomenon with sufficient water for agriculture, according to the prediction of the Meteorological Department.

 

Department head Mr Wanchai Sak-udomchai said on Monday that rainfall this year would not be too much to cause widespread flooding or too little that would cause widespread drought.

 

However, during the start of the rainy season expected at the end of this month, the amount of rainfall might be slightly more than normal and, eventually, it would decrease in September and October.

It has been raining off-and-on, especially late-afternoon and early-evening, every few days for the past two weeks here in Chiang Mai.

 

Obviously we now know that we're all wrong after all, and this wasn't the start of the monsoon season, which most local expats thought was due early-May. :wink:

 

And the PM need not worry about the monsoon having started early, as reported on another thread this morning, there's still a few weeks to wait and fix the broken weirs  ...

I wonder whether the genius from the Met Office might also, clarify, whether we're likely to see daylight between morning & evening, and the likelihood of it being darker at night-time ? :cool:

Its rained every week since last November. There has been NO dry season this year. So called weather experts are a joke.

It's important to watch the wind maps, the South West Monsoon brings the rains in May so if the wind is not from the SW, there's unlikely to be any sustained rainfall.

What wizardry from this department. Protecting the start of rainy season in May? And if this was not enough of a shock prediction. They also see the rainy season tapering off in October.

Next they will be predicting that the laws of gravity will be in effect  throughout the year.

It is only an "official" start date, regardless of circumstances. :shock1:

He might as well have said  "The amount of light will increase tomorrow after sunrise and, eventually, it will decrease after sunset." :ermm:

Being a weather forecaster is the perfect job. You can get it wrong all the time and you never get fired.

Even better than being a barrister when one of is wrong 50% of the time but still charge as if they win 100% of the time

      If there is no life after death...

      Even for a christian, you make an enormous number of errors in thinking. Over and over again you talk about "proving there isn't a god". Over and over again, I tell you that "disproving a negative" was dealt with in 1930 (Karl Popper). Why do you keep making the same blunder? As well, you have a ridiculous notion of what constitutes a valid belief. If the topic is important, we require supporting evidence. Einstein was ridiculed by the uneducated in 1905... he asserted that time could move at varying rates for different observers! How ridiculous! But, Einstein's assertions tested, measured and verified around the world. People changed their minds based upon an evaluation of facts. There are no facts to evaluate, regarding the existence of gods. You are making another blunder - false equivalence. Belief in the existence of gods requires supporting evidence, not an empty assertion of a belief. A fact-free belief is worthless. You assume I and others had our thinking process screwed up. Damn right. You can't even get the basics of clear thinking correct. You can't afford to - the absurdity of your position would be beyond obvious. You were told some bull<deleted> when you were small, and you lack the intellectual skills to discard it and move on. Preying on small children, and ruining their intellectual skills, is criminal, You are a victim of this process.

      If there is no life after death...

      Near Death Experiences are accounts of those who were still alive (that means not dead) and nothing to do with life AFTER death, of which there are NO accounts

      BYD Seal tips, tricks and help

      So, the big OTA is here for me, delayed a few days possibly after the True outage but downloading now, @mistral53 just squeezed his in before the outage i think. So, initially it will download the upgrade pack to the car before you can set the OTA going, part 1 of 27 seems to take the longest and the rest are very quick. This took around 5 minutes and will download in the background so you may miss this ( only the red dot on the notification bell will alert you ). In my case the OTA page then appeared but it might just be the red dot notification on the car symbol ( bottom right ) if you are driving i guess. Clicking on the blue link will show you what is in the OTA, Swipe up to see the full list. As the car is turned off when you start the OTA you are unlikely to sit in there watching the progress and i wish you could see how long is left on the app, but unfortunately no, the app goes offline. Peering in through the window is not great as the film (60% in my case ! ) makes it difficult but you can open the car, with your phone if you desire, to check on progress. So, I checked in 1 hour after the OTA was started and it was done ! Not sure how long it took but wasn’t 99 minutes, less than 1 hour. Scroll down to the bottom of privacy statement and Accept or Skip , not sure what Skip invokes. A little update to the English language file ( optional ), took around 26 minutes !! but at least the air con is on ! Noticed the additional symbols on bottom of screen while waiting, a long press on any symbol takes you to the option page, using the + or - buttons to customise to your liking. Swiping down from the top of screen now brings up a different view from the Vehicle Control and Shortcut page which can be customised, note some features have changed their name ( AVAS ) . Pressing the Custom button brings up more features but i can’t seem to access the lower features half shown without closing the screen !!, needs some investigation ! As usual with any upgrade stuff has been moved around and new stuff hard to find , finding the password to drive button is in Locks ?? Auto power on/off also needs a little search !! So, gonna need some time to adjust to these changes and the little lady is hinting that she is hungry ( when isn’t she hungry ??) so will have to delay the investigation !! Will be back with any useful/less information as I find it !

      Source of reasonable Ivermectin drug?

      Assuming this isn't a wind up thread, that’s really concerning! I understand that cancer treatments can be expensive and difficult to access, but Ivermectin isn’t the answer. It’s not a treatment for cancer, its used to treat parasitic infections in both humans and animals, and taking it for something else could actually be more dangerous than not doing so. It can cause serious side effects, especially if taken in high doses or for an extended period of time.

      If there is no life after death...

      They believe in Allah, just like Jews believe in Yahweh. What makes you think they are any better than Jupiter or Odin? You are in complete denial of the fact you were indoctrinated as a child. To admit you could be wrong is a bridge too far, it would turn your world upside down.

      Is "Putinization" a more accurate way to describe what Trump is doing to America?

      If it were just Krasnov I wouldn’t worry. He’s failed at everything he’s done. BUT… I am worried about what those who are controlling him will do next.
