Looks good, hopefully a good, long, soaking rain with a heavy downpour every few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Not much rain last night, but the wind knocked power out in Kamala around 830. Not sure when it came back on, I managed to doze off in a pool of sweat. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Very heavy rain this afternoon accompanied by a squall sufficient to endanger any tourist boats silly enough to be on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patong2 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Just drove around the Bang Wat dam in Kathu this afternoon and it is still virtually empty. The pump intake is stranded on the bottom of the dam surrounded by dry soil and green grass. Worth a look if you are around that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If weather cooperates I'll be there this Sunday for a walk, I'm curious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs weeks of rain to saturate and run off into the dam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The khlong behind our house is slowly filling from it's previous bone dry state More absorption at the moment rather than the slow evaporation once the sub soil becomes saturated.

I also noticed that the lake/reservoir next to the mining museum has increased in level significantly, although I am sure this was due to an external source being pumped into or filling form another reservoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
