Too much happening all over

TMD reported 13 mm rain overnight, my rain bucket is at 69 mm this morning. That's a huge difference

2017 AFC U-20 Futsal Championship semifinals today, televised on Thai TV 7 at 4 and 7 pm. I suspect Thailand will rank fourth.

There's a problem that needs fixing

North and South weather systems collide

Last evening probably easily 1 inch of rain per hour, most likely more. 
Electricity and water pressure went off at the start of this thunder and lightening storm. 
Rechargeable flashlights and USB fans are a must during the power outage season. 
Candles are OK, but they create heat. 
This might be one of the wettest season the area has seen in some time

Pool day weather feels like 109F

foreca.com impressed me a lot last Saturday.  That was afternoon football day. Predicted heavy rain to begin at 2 pm and end at 3 pm.  They didn't have it down to the second, but within ten minutes.
Today:

Slight chance of locally generated rainstorm at scattered locations (30% TMD)

Real feel 42-43

General agreement heavy rains Wednesday, Thursday of this week
