If today's rain's considered 'heavy rains' they better prepare their shores for August....

Weird to get flooding in January although I did notice a bit of a heavy downpour last night. Many of those areas in the outlying districts are outside any dikes and aren't sufficiently backfilled/ shored up.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

It followed the same pattern in the capital. Rather strange weather in recent years, at least compared to the previous decade or so.Barang chgout wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 9:03 pm Had more rain out in the Cardamoms from Jan. to March last year than we had from April to Sep... maybe another year the ssme....climate change?

We had steady rain around the royal palace are but I wouldn’t have thought it big or strong enough to cause that amount of flooding.
I agree with JB, the last few years the weather has been downright weird compared to previous years.
