That's why they call it "rainy season" and "dry season"...timmydownawell wrote:Hope so. It's rained - what? - twice this year?

Also, hopefully more hydro for the hydroelectric power? How much do we need before we can go back to 24/7 power?

Sure, but last year it began pissing down in March. It's really held off this year.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 4:06 pmThat's why they call it "rainy season" and "dry season"...timmydownawell wrote:Hope so. It's rained - what? - twice this year?

Re: Will It Rain Today?
I don't know, I haven't exactly kept track, but I've never noticed huge differences from year to year. Rain always starts late April or early May. I remember thinking it was really hot maybe three years ago, and they said it was a 60 year record or something (especially for the Tonle Sap). Pretty hot this year too, but I don't think it's put of the ordinary. Like Hanno Said: SEA gets hot in April, big deal.
I personally find the rain a bit of a nuisance. It's fine if you're just sitting at home, but if you need to go somewhere it can be annoying. You get soaked, dirty, etc. If sitting outside in the evening you have to find quick cover or change plans at the last minute. Riding on the highway you can get drenched in a motorbike, sometimes the whole way. I don't feel the excitement I used to when I first came, it's more of an inconvenience now, but hey, so was winter back home. It's all part of the cycle.
It's been raining for weeks in the Cardamoms and other spots. Last year was a crazy rainy season, truly relentless, so those reservoirs will be even drier in the future.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.

Pissing down outside, but tap water? Forget it. Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink.
