Pffft, I'm a millennial (that didn't get into tech). You think we have money?

According to Thai Met we eventually got 113mm in August in Hua Hin

Quite a lot more than the August monthly average of 71mm(+60%)

10 days ago we looked to be having a dryish month?? Didn't seem that wet to me but maybe I was asleep!

Warnings issued of heavy rain as tropical storm nears

https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/ge ... torm-nears

Most regions of the country can expect to be drenched in the next 24 hours as heavy rain is forecast as Tropical Storm Conson approaches, the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) says.

The TMD reported on Tuesday afternoon that the storm was moving across the central Philippines in a northwesterly direction towards Vietnam.

As it approaches the storm will likely bring a 70-80% chance of rain in all regions except the South in the next 24 hours. The downpours in many parts of the country are likely to continue until next Monday.

Persistent heavy rain could trigger downstream surges in rivers, including the Chao Phraya which flows through Bangkok, raising the risk of widespread flooding, the Royal Irrigation Department (RID), said.

RID director-general Prapit Chanma said he has issued instructions to all irrigation projects in areas predicted to be affected by the heavy rainfall to closely monitor water levels.

In Nakhon Ratchasima, all districts have been ordered to closely monitor water levels in reservoirs, for while major dams still have spare storage capacity some smaller ones are already full.

Provincial governor Kobchai Boon-orana said on Tuesday recent rain had increased flow into 27 large and middle-sized reservoirs. Many were now at 60% or more of their holding capacity.

Lam Takong Dam in Si Khiu district was holding 214 million cubic metres of water, or 66.13% of its capacity of 314 million cubic metres. Lam Phra Phloeng Dam in Pak Thong Chai district had 100 million cu/m, or 64.54 of its capacity of 155 million cu/m, the governor said.

These and two other dams had room for a lot more water, he said, provided there were no heavy storms or monsoon rains like those that pounded this northeastern province last year.

Mr Kobchai said even if the storms were severe, flooding and overflow from Lam Takhong and Lam Phra Phloeng dams would not be too bad.

Water levels in three out of 23 middle-sized reservoirs had already exceeded their holding capacities, he said. They are Lam Chiang Sa, Ban San Kamphaeng in Wang Nam Khieo and Lam Chiang Krai reservoir in Non Thai district.

And before this rain arrives were currently on course for 3 times the average monthly September rainfall after the first 7 days!

There's a lot of lightning heading our way from the North. I've been sat on the front porch watching it get closer for the last hour.

Pete, they were right about "except for the South"

Hua Hin only got 1.6mm yest when we should average 4mm per September day

But considering the local forecast I was happy only to get a 5 min shower on 2 of my 9 holes!

In the first 14 days of this month we've had 89% of the average monthly rainfall for September

Let's hope things now even themselves out, but it could be a wet one

Yes Pete, here in Hua Hin we are currently on target for a very wet September (approx +/- 60% above the Sept monthly average for Hua Hin)

We had the monthly average in the first 16 days of Sept.

All based on Thai Met figures

And we've just had a very heavy downpour too. Yesterday I nearly drowned on the golf course! Roads were partially flooded on the way home...

With a wet September, the dams in the area should have enough water for the drier
weather in December, when us International tourists try our luck to visit Thailand
for our Winter break. My old friend sure is hoping that his hotel is still open and
he can get back into the country with a bit less rules and restrictions than which are
the current ones. he does like his beer.

My property is quite well known on here for missing the rain when everyone else has it. However, for the last week or so I've had rain every day. I would say that I've had more rain in the last couple of weeks than I've had for the rest of the year.
Gone is my well cropped garden. Hard work around the corner when we manage a couple of days without rain!

[buksida]

It does seem very localized, even down here where it has rained almost every day for the past 3 months, yet others a few clicks away claim they have hardly had any. The local lakes have filled up though which is good news for dry season (if the locals can stop pumping it all out).

I'm sure, like the rest of us though, it has just been a heavy shower or two. We are not getting the deluge that the rest of the country is suffering. I've been watching the news footage, and some of it is very scary elsewhere. All we ever get is a couple of deep puddles that are gone within a couple of hours.

This was the main road between HH and CA yesterday
