Rainy season is tiptoeing through Esaan.

seven day forecast

A little here, a tinkle there, occasional T-storm (nothing serious, no alerts)
Increased chance of rain this weekend, then back to tiptoe weather.

There's still a mixed opinion as to the strength of the rainy season. From weak to extreme.




The rainy season gets in full swing around Wan Khao Phansa (Buddhist Lent Day).  This year it's July 20.  It's when the monks go into a temple retreat till the rainy season ends around mid October this year.  Heavy rains, if there are to be any will arrive from the east and northeast
