Guest Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 We had rain season, which lasted for 2 years earlier. Let's enjoy this dry season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I cant ever remember the A/C on 24/7 for this long think the rain cant penetrate the smog in CM and when it comes the following humidity will boil you on the spot???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Yes, it is hot, but this weather, sunny with sometimes a shower, is quite normal for this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Mcseismic Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Official start to rainy season is the 1st May. We still need to see the wind start to swing and lots of electrical storms first, before we see good rain. I think that we are at the start of this now. My best guess is we'll see rain in the middle of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utalkin2me Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 it will rain when there is enough moisture in the air to precipitate. it does not rain when the hairless apes deem it convenient to do so unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patong2 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Joe went to Milford Sound once and yes it rained. even the Moose found it too wet down there and died out. Auckland's bad enough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiChakayan Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 A fair bit of rain in Buriram since March 20. Some downpours even, with the expected brownouts. Trees look happy too, while the frogs get loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansgruber Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Things are getting serious. We have no water left, well bone dry. Contacted every water company I can find. Some say 6 day queue. Some say no water at all. Hotels are getting priority. One truck company said 3000 baht for 5000 litres but need to wait 3 days in their queue. Looks like it's time to check into a hotel room. Unbelievable. Edit: just read this. Local government now admits to shortages. https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/phukets-water-supply-in-a-critical-situation First time I've heard the term water lords. Lol.

Yep ... you need to be a regular customer to get water trucks. They can't supply anyone new. We pay 700 baht for 6 k liters and can get same day delivery. Right now we have a truck every day.

beechbum Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Heading to the circle from Mai Harn around 1030/11am yesterday saw a small excavator had punctured a mains water line, never a good thing to do but doubly so at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyphodb Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 This is an "El Nino" year apparently, the last one of those that I remember here the rains were late & there were a lot less of them so if the same happens again the drought will be well & truly on... A lot of the reservoirs here in the NE have never completely filled from the last one so it looks like droughts are going to happen more often...

soalbundy Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 All complaints to the great pixie in the sky. We have been warned that El Nino will cause the rainy season to be late and short, pity the farmers not the expats wanting a cool shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 The rainy season is forecast to arrive 4 weeks late, so some time closer to the last week in May 1st week in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laza 45 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 It could be a bit of a long wait.. I read not long ago that there is a fairly strong possibility of El Nino event this Thai summer.. along with global warming producing a scorcher of a summer.. lots of info if you Google El Nino Thailand 2019.. a lot of very academic articles but easy to get the picture if you read a bit..

statman78 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 We are just outside of the city of Chiang Rai. Last night we had some rain. It lasted less than 30 minutes. It was the first rain for us since January (maybe December) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnapat Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Drove from Nakhon Sawan to Bangkok yesterday. From 20 km south of NS right down to Ayuttaya the roads were awash so must have been heavy rain for at least 150km stretch . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
