soistalker Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) I use the weather.com app, but find it pretty useless. I would appreciate finding a reliable weather app or site so as not to get stuck outside standing in a corner while the 30~50cm flood waters receed (even after a mild downpour). Any ideas on a reliable predictor of the weather? Edited September 24, 2018 by soistalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 have you tried Windy ????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 There's no app that will predict the location and severity of Pattaya's frequent flash floods during the rainy season. PS. The storm drains in Singapore are far, far superior and 100% fit-for-purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busted! But next time you walk around Singapore, take a look at how deep the storm drains are and how clean they are kept. If they had the same 1 m deep ditches full of plastic like Thailand has, Singapore would have sunk a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I use the ironically named accuweather. My running joke is that if I'm carrying an umbrella it won't rain, and if I'm not, it will. Also looking for something better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times are in UTC, add 7 hours. A lot of rain in the Pattaya hinterland. But seemingly drifting away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had the same 1 m deep ditches full of plastic like Thailand has, Singapore would have sunk a long time ago. I have no doubt that there are better designed drainage systems around the world. But a lot depends on the economics, whether the funds are available to do it right (and not siphoned off), and whether it's more cost effective to clean up after a series of 5 floods or build the $$$$ infrastructure to reduce the flooding by 80% and then only clean up after just one flood in the same period. Because it's downright expensive to keep from having any floods, given geography, geology and the monsoons of Thailand.
