Dear Editor,
As a regular visitor to Pattaya, I am getting truly irritated about the failure of the authorities to get the weather report right even every now and then. Throughout the previous month alone we have had 3 “cautions” in journalism, on the web and by means of television about heavy showers and thunderstorms ready to come by doing this. On each event I took with me an umbrella which remained in reality required, however just to protect me from the hot sun and blue skies throughout the day. It was the exact same story in July other than for 2 short rainstorms which lasted about an hour. Even the regional radio routinely anticipates afternoon or night thunderstorms which just never ever occur.
All of us understand that water lack is a looming issue thanks to El Nino and other weather advancements. Rain is now a really welcome phenomenon instead of a problem. All over Pattaya there are substantial underground pipelines being set up to handle flood waters when, in truth, it appears like they will seldom be utilized. They are showing to be a big waste of cash. Looking for out what is truly going on, I just recently strolled to the Pattaya weather condition station on the Buddha hill however the door was locked and no one addressed my knocking. I recommend that Pattaya Mail and all other regional media stop providing forecasts about the rain to come unless and up until the “specialists” can begin to make good sense. At the minute, they simply look dumb.
Yours consistently,
Trevor Lane
