Patchy Rain likely for Songkran

There have been rains over the past week throughout the province.
Until yesterday it wasn't noted much in the city. It's been quite scattered.

I totally disagree with the local weather service, who recorded less than an inch of rainfall yesterday (14.7mm).
The thunderstorm lasted about an hour.

I have to find some rain gear.  If all else fails trash bags are more durable than the raincoats being sold here

   

In Waritchaphum district, some 70 km to the west of Sakon City, hail storms, and high winds collapsed a school building, which in turn destroyed a car

7 am


Thai Meteorological Department forecasts scattered showers (20-40%) through Songkran.

Most weather services agree patchy rain for the holidays.

There are still strong northerly influences keeping temperatures pleasant


Noteworthy is the first storm of the season west of the Philippines.
