Glad to hear that Thailand is getting some  rain in the rainy season, the reservoirs likely still need some water

at least in some parts of the country

Geezer

Lovely, decent tempratures around 30c and cloudy most days here in Wichianburi,and as i type here comes the rain.

I've lived through 3 lots of flooding in Nakhon Sawan, now beginning to be concerned about aĺl this early rainfall. River is already very high here. Hope that water management can do a better job than previously

I lived through the 2011 flooding.. i feel your pain. But if it happens so often isnt the location wrong then ? 

 

Where I live almost never floods only in 2011 and that was largely because of mis management of the dams (they released the water far too late and had to release it at the worst possible time because they had no backup capacity anymore). Now they discharge water ahead at better times. So 2011 will probably don't happen again.

So far here in the south the forecast has been totally wrong. And it seems to be totally wrong also for the rest of the week, looking at more reliable weather sites.

 

Even TMD itself seems to be confused,

Take a look at  windyty   Lots of good understandable weather patterns.

Good Thailand gets rain so the dams can build up the required level for dry season

 

Did see that watermanagement canals were cleaned but as Always some fool brings a truck of Something and dumps

locals here did clean it out again  think if all canal and irrigation Chanels were cleaned it would save much grief with flooding  

sorry for all that get flodded out   

had to also lost all the garden walls but  now made the good way \saying that if a big flood comes nothing wins it is frightening  .

 

when flood warings come stay alert stay alive
