Chiang Mai must have jumped the gun then, it has been raining all morning, only just stopped now (2pm) be it that none of the rain has been as heavy as what we had last week.

Thai weather forecasts should never be taken seriously its just an indication what might happen if everything falls into place.

A forecast is just that   prediction of a future weather condition.  If  the forecast is even 60 percent accurate, then the

forcaster did a pretty good job of figuring out what the next day or two was going to do.

  I was a weather observer, and a weather briefer to pilots, and that was a tough enough job, I would never try to forecast

the weather  as  so many things can happen to make the forcast unaccurate. Less moisture in a weather system, or a change

of wind speed, less heat and instability, or more than expected all affect what the future weather is going to do.

It is a very complicated job, and I salute any forecaster who gets the forecast even close to what happens in the next few

days.
