The rainy season myth

Alec — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 02:45:02 +0000

I thought I should just end a myth associated with the rainy season that a number of people have commented on recently.

The problem with the term ‘rainy season’ is that it can conjure up images of months of unbroken torrential rain. The fact of the matter is that it can be days or weeks between rain and when it does come, it is often just a short shower. Occasionally, there are more prolonged downpours, but these are generally not the norm.

So if you are thinking of visiting Nong Khai, but are considering avoiding the rainy season for fear of not being able to venture outside for the duration of your stay, you need not worry. Most likely, you’ll enjoy the majority of your time bathed in sunshine and if there is a shower or two, you’ll probably welcome the cooling and freshening of the air that comes with it.
