Green Thumb

Drought Concern 2014

The last time the area saw any measurable rain was September of last year.
We are now half a year without rain.
General experience is that the rainy season begins sometime in May.
There is no concrete evidence if the rainy season begins on time this year and at what strenght.

To date 18 provinces have been declared drought areas.  Suggestions have been made to prepare water reserves for general consumption.

Water levels at the local lake are dropping slightly.  It will be interesting to see the levels around Songkran.
Water trucks delivering water to remote areas seem to be more frequent on the roads
