Heavy monsoon rains in Thailand: warnings issued
The Thai Meteorological Department predicts heavy rainfall in most of Thailand this weekend due to the strong influence of the monsoon.
The department said monsoon troughs in northern areas and the Gulf of Thailand are expected to bring moderate to heavy rains in many parts of the country, including Bangkok.
Although southern provinces are expected to receive less rain than other parts of the country, authorities have warned of waves of 1-2 meters high and that storms pose a potential hazard to ships at sea.
Continued rainfall is forecast over the coming days. Heavier rainfall is expected from September 15 to 17, especially in the provinces of Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Tak and Kanchanaburi.
Although rainfall is expected to ease after September 18, officials are keeping a close eye on the formation of a depression in the Pacific Ocean, which could affect Thailand in the coming weeks.

It's already Saturday evening and we haven't seen a drop of rain yet. Alternating cloudy and beautiful sunny periods throughout the day. I live in central Chonburi…
I have seen similar weather forecasts several times, but each time we hardly get any rain here. Hopefully our fellow bloggers will be as lucky.
We've had a lot here in Chiang Mai
UPDATE:
Still haven't seen a drop. We still have to water even the plants in the garden.
the weather channel talks about Chiangmai and Tak also Kanchanaburi so no Chonburi better learn to read weather reports.
Sorry, but I had the weather forecast from my neighbor, a high-ranking police officer. That man really knows what he's talking about.
I hadn't read the weather forecast myself. Hopefully you accept the confusion.
Otherwise it would be practical to have a high-ranking police officer next door where you can ask for the weather forecast...
Would a high-ranking police officer also know more about the weather than a low-ranking police officer?
On the contrary, the lowly person knows better because he has to go outside to see if it is raining or not 😉
Cha am had heavy rain yesterday from 16.00:17.15 PM to XNUMX:XNUMX PM
I consider myself lucky when it actually pours rain. Really good for everything. Including my mood. Delicious. I drive a motorcycle so I take shelter every now and then. The road is bone dry again an hour after the rain. Everything is dusted again, nature has something to drink again, the water is oxygen-rich again, fantastic. And it's hot water too 😉 As a Dutch person you should be able to handle a shower by now, right? Otherwise, of course, do not live in a country where a tropical rainy climate prevails for a number of months.
Lots of flooding here in the rural areas of Udon Thani.
The road from Udon to Khon Kean is also partially closed due to high water on the road.
In my area, the rice fields are now large areas of water.
Hopefully it won't take too long and the rice can continue to grow afterwards.
Dry today and the water level is dropping quickly so I am confident of a good outcome.
Here in the Kutchap region it is more than full, the road between Hokqua and Kutchap is almost too high. No flooding yet. We went to Nong Khai today and at the right times it was dry for a while, but for the rest of the time it was only rain.
Here in Chiangmai Hangdong, a heavy shower of rain falls from the sky every evening in recent weeks and then it continues to rain. Some heavy downpours last weekend. My potted plants benefit from it.
Here in the rural areas of Khorat there is now a nice rain shower every day, enough for the garden, but a little more could be added for the water supply for the coming dry months.
We live in Nonthaburi.
For many days until Sunday evening 17 Sept. not a drop of rain. Then a tiny bit. Where is the rainy season that we had every year. Tomorrow Monday first water the garden.
In Udonthani rain every day; the time of day doesn't matter: morning, afternoon, evening, night.
Usually starts with thunder and lightning, then it pours for half an hour and then it rains for hours.
Also little rain here in Cha-am. Doesn't bode well for the coming years.
