You have a different TMD to me then, they are usually as accurate as it is possible to get, they have no rain forecast, apart from two days when there is a 10% chance, or look at it another way, 90% chance there will be no rain, hardly unusual for this time of year. As localised as these storms are impossible to predict, there will always be those with high expectations and little understanding though. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Grumpy John said: Tried it. Doesn't help, just blows hot air. Old trick is to take a 1.5L coke bottle, make a small hole in the cap, put a rag through it, fill with water and place upside down between the fan and you, so the rag stays moist (not directly on the fan or you might get electrocuted). The moisture that the airflow picks up feels a bit colder on the skin. Old school swamp cooler. They work better in dry climates but still have some effect here. https://www.curioushistory.com/ancient-egyptian-air-conditioner-over-4000-years-old/ Quote Ancient Egyptians are credited as being the pioneer to use evaporative cooling method. They used to hang reeds or wet cloth in doorways and windows. As wind blew across the wet cloths, the air enters in the home get cooled. This action cool downs the entire brickwork of the buildings.

The rain is all right it's the humidity that comes after is the problem ,I would almost prefer the heat. My wife almost has a heart attack,when she sees Thai TV ,a village with its roofs blown off by the strong winds, she thinks we will be next ,the maine reason I took out some house insurance.

Swirly hot gusty wind. Ventusky weather radar says NO. Only rain is 0.04 inch is located over Cambodia and the winds are driving it northwards. Nothing for ALL of Thailand.

Venom Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hopefully the rain will wash away the horrendous air pollution in the most polluted city on the planet! Unfortunately Hua Hin at 170 AQI and unhealthy red levels every morning this week is expecting no rain. Seems the current regime is hell bent on destroying the environment and the quality of like in this once beautiful country for the sake of a few greedy multinational agro corporations profit margins. ????????????

I wouldn't place much faith in Ventusky, TMD more accurate, Windy much more accurate. The only rains we will get for the next month or so will be mainly generated from storms, the rains/monsoons are still a month away, the next month is hit and miss, usually miss ????
