Thailand Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 TMD says there is a good chance of rain the next 3 days. On the other hand normally more reliable weather forecasts do not agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short term forecasting for storms is impossible! "Windy" is the most accurate for shorter term forecasting as they use the best "modelling" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMD forecast 20 percent precipitation for today and tomorrow, Accuweather for one do not. I hope TMD are correct, but not holding my breath.

CGW Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 36 minutes ago, Thailand said: TMD forecast 20 percent precipitation for today and tomorrow, Accuweather for one do not. I follow the weather daily, have done for over forty years, used to report the weather daily when I was working etc, etc.. Forecasting is all about data in - data out - the bigger the computer and the more data you have the more accurate the end result. TMD today is reporting that there is an 80% chance that there will be no rain, odds are on that the rain that does fall will be in some area that it makes no difference! Once the monsoons start to run prediction becomes easier, now its just modelling as to where storms may or may not start. CM airport is "predicting" "Temporarily from Wednesday 15:00 till 19:00: Wind 280° 15kt, gusting 30kt. Visibility 4000m. Thunderstorm rain. Clouds few 2000ft cumulonimbus, broken 3000ft." Subject to change! ???? Good luck with the rain, odds are against it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak2002003 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 When did it last rain here in Chiang Mai? Was is October last year? I am sick of my garden plants dying and even the palms and trees are suffering now. Really want some rain!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trujillo Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 There's this long rubber thing attached to a spigot. If you turn on the spigot, water will come out the other end. Stick that end (the one with the water coming out) on the soil of the plants and palms and trees. Let it run for a while. Hope that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a BONUS even heavy downpours only reduce pm2.5 by 5-10%. not gonna matter when your pm2.5 level is 10 times acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
