MOnday the 29th... TMD says 4.9mm in the last few hours.. Bwahaha! On the east side here judging from the accumulation in the yard another 30-40mm.. Our ponds are creeping up to the brim... Another few days and they'll be overflowing. They've gain about 40cm in the last week alone. Down the road where the government in their infinite wisdom addressed road flooding by raising it about 60cm they've found its formed a dam which has completely innundated one section of the village with 30-50mm of water, filling some poor folks houses... The village chief and Tessaban folks were out with diesel pumps yesterday pumping all the water from one side of the road to the next.. Ah, but the road no longer is underwater in the rainy season, at least... the section they raised..! 30 meters from where the raised portion ends the water is 30cm deep and unable to drain away....

An additional 1.2 inches (30.5 mm) in the gage since emptying it yesterday morning. 4.7 inches (119.4 mm) total since Saturday evening (27th) in Ban Jan.

It's Been Continuosly Precipertating in Nongers All Day up to now.....

It's Absoloutley PIS*ING Down here at the moment.....23.17 hrs..

Well it Piss*d Down nearly ALL Last night on The Costa,Reckon we almost had 2" So NO Need to water the grass today....

Well it rained 60mm yesterday including overnight rain.

Storm over Phen(and perhaps generally) last night and heavy rain. Road outside flooded again, but with newish drainage channel, water disappears fairly quickly. But what about the claps of thunder? A couple so very loud, I had to pull my nervous dog off the ceiling.

Real cracker of a storm blew in from the North East last night around midnight. Power cuts and a few trees down. Winds strong enough to blow the rain through the windows draught strips. Some really spectacular lightning and thunder worse than a combat zone.

Doesn't seem to be a day go by without footage showing flooded houses/land/roads etc etc on TV.

Although this year seems worse than recent years rainfall wise, those who have been here a few years will know that this was the norm a few years back. All the news footage seems to show JVC's or nets or whatever is available digging tons and tons of weeds and mainly RUBBISH from the rivers that have overflowed.

PERHAPS ..... JUST PERHAPS if the authorities had done their job and removed the weeds every year ( I wonder what happened to the budget set aside to do that ) , and the people STOPPED throwing/dumping their rubbish all over the place many of these floods would never happen

We Had A Few Small Rumbles of Thunder in the distance, But Hardly enough Rain to Dampen the Garden....

More to come , well it is forecasted but you never know, I am starting to plan my gardening activiti8es around little rain for the next 4-6 months although we normally haver wetting in January at some time.

That's it I am NOT posting anymore, it is NOW RAINING a lot, a bloody lot sort of upturn bucket type of rain, not gentle but not heavy, was in the garden and in 1 MINUTE completely soaked, there was no rain one minute then a vast quantity dropped on me. Will update amount in the last 15 mins in a mo.
Tanks overflowing, garden flooding OMG have to go shopping nowt else to do for at least 24 hrs.

Still raining but in the last 15 minutes 25 mm has fallen.
So the question ' Rain where art thou ? ' , has rightly been answered, it is bloody well here and NOW !!

Final reading now the rain has stopped is 31 mm all in the last 17 minutes, at least on the positive side no need to water the garden today ................lol

Well on the sunny side of town it has started to cloud over

Not raining yet, but just like the old days .....

2:30 in the afternoon and so dark you have to put the lights on. ....... just like a mid Dec day in London
