Free on iOS & Android. ## Rain in Rangsit: What You Need to Know Rangsit is the northern gateway to Bangkok, and it is built on a grid of canals laid across a flat rice plain: the Rangsit Canal still marks where the water drains. Rain here comes as slow afternoon cells, and a Rangsit rain radar shows whether the next one reaches Phahonyothin Road before the commuter rush. Hyperlocal radar shows where the rain is and where it is heading. The plain north of Don Mueang is so flat that water spreads rather than drains, and in 2011 the floods that swamped Pathum Thani sat on these fields for weeks. Heated streets and malls build convective cells in the afternoon that move slowly north. A standard forecast for Bangkok and its surrounding provinces averages out which district is hit. RainViewer shows precipitation over Rangsit with data from the Thai Meteorological Department, the national weather service. The live rain map refreshes about every 5 minutes, so it shows whether a cell over Don Mueang is moving up Phahonyothin Road or sliding east. ## RainViewer Radar Coverage in Rangsit RainViewer shows Thai precipitation using data from the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD), the national weather service, which operates a network of weather radars across the country. The map refreshes with each new scan, about every 5 minutes. From Rangsit the map also covers Don Mueang, Nonthaburi and Bangkok. ### Rainy season (May to October) The heaviest rain falls from August to October, when afternoon storms combine with high water in the Chao Phraya system. The canals fill, and Phahonyothin Road and the Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road slow to a crawl. ### Transition months (March to April, and November) Heat builds storms before the rains and the monsoon ends unevenly. Afternoon cells arrive without warning and catch students and commuters. ### Cool and dry season (December to February) Rain is uncommon and the weather is stable, which suits Dream World and outdoor events. Commutes run with fewer weather stops. ## Why You Need a Rain Radar in Rangsit ### Phahonyothin Road and Red Line commuters Commuters from Rangsit station on the SRT Dark Red Line and Phahonyothin Road know a cell turns the evening trip into a crawl. Leave in the gap. ### Future Park Rangsit and Zpell shoppers Mall visitors time the walk between the car park and the doors. The radar shows whether the cell clears in 15 minutes. ### Thammasat University Rangsit campus students Students cross the open campus on foot and motorbike. Time the trip between lectures to the gap. ### Dream World visitors Theme park days at Dream World in Thanyaburi suffer when a cell sits over the park. Watch the map and pick the dry slot. ### Rangsit canal-side residents Residents of canal-side housing track rising water in the Rangsit Canal after heavy rain. The radar shows whether more rain is on the way. ## Rangsit Rain Radar: Frequently Asked Questions **How does rain affect commuters in Rangsit?** Heavy rain slows Phahonyothin Road and the Dark Red Line feeder routes and floods low junctions, and evening cells can double journey times. Cells are slow-moving. RainViewer shows when one clears. **Does rain affect the Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road?** Yes, heavy rain floods low sections of the Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road and slows traffic towards Thammasat University. Water collects at canal crossings. Check the radar before leaving. **Does Rangsit flood when it rains?** Yes, Rangsit and Pathum Thani flood when rain and the Chao Phraya rise together, as in 2011 when the plain sat under water for weeks. The Rangsit Canal and its feeder canals fill first. Move vehicles to higher ground early. **When is the best time to visit Rangsit to avoid rain?** December to February is the driest and the coolest, which suits Dream World and outdoor events. March and April are hot with brief storms. August to October is the wettest. **Why does it rain in Rangsit but not in Bangkok city?** Convective cells build over the warm urban area and move slowly across the flat plain, so one district gets an hour of rain while the next stays dry. A hyperlocal radar shows the cell's track. **How does RainViewer's radar work in Rangsit?** RainViewer shows live precipitation over Rangsit using Thai Meteorological Department radar data, refreshed about every 5 minutes. It shows rain as it falls, not a modelled prediction, and is a hyperlocal radar for the plain. **Can RainViewer warn me before rain hits Rangsit?** Yes, a rain alert warns you minutes before rain reaches a saved place such as Future Park Rangsit or the Dark Red Line station. The 5-minute forecast timeline shows the next two hours. That settles whether to leave now. ## Track Rain in Rangsit in Real Time A commute up Phahonyothin Road and an evening at Future Park both depend on a dry gap, and RainViewer shows the next one. Rain in Rangsit arrives as slow afternoon cells over a flat canal plain, and the gap between two cells is the window that matters. **RainViewer Essential gives you:** ### 2-hour forecast in 5-minute slices Two hours of 5-minute steps let you time the walk from Future Park to the station. ### Rain alerts before arrival Put an alert on Rangsit station. RainViewer warns you minutes ahead, which settles whether to leave the office now. ### Direction arrows on the map Rain reaches Rangsit most often from the south-west over Don Mueang, so the arrows show whether a cell heads up Phahonyothin Road. ### 48 hours of radar history The 48-hour history shows what fell on the plain, which explains the level of the Rangsit Canal. ### Multiple locations Track Rangsit, Thammasat Rangsit and Don Mueang at once. > Your weather app says showers for Bangkok this evening. A live hyperlocal radar shows the cell is already over Rangsit while Don Mueang is dry, and that decides the commute.
