hydraides Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 OK not so much wind for Phuket, instead a lot of rain (looks like a direct hit for phuket with heaviest rain currently) but Cyclone strength winds will hit Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Suprised this hasn't been on the news more, On ThaiVisa..............Wonder how dangerous its going to be for Koh Samui/Koh Phangan , I want to go there !!! Phuket will just get a lot of rain ????

Jai Dee Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Strengthening tropical system to threaten Vietnam, Thailand with flooding rain After inundating the Philippines with deadly flooding, disruptive tropical weather now has its sights set on Indochina. Tropical Depression 35W, locally Usman in the Philippines, impacted the nation late last week. Catarman, Philippines, received 470 mm (18.5 inches) of rain in less than 48 hours from Friday into Saturday. Rainfall also topped 300 mm (12 inches) in Alabat and Legazpi City. As of Monday, more than 60 people have died and at least 17 remain missing, according to BBC News. This is mainly due to mudslides triggered by the heavy rain in Benguet province. Read the full story from Accuweather here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Looks like it will affect other areas of Thailand a lot more than Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl sees all Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Up here in Isaan, it has only rained once since 16th September. We could do with a drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell It could change course and come a bit further south, then it would be a direct hit on phuket, too early to tell looks unlikely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Khaosod article. http://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2019/01/01/south-warned-of-first-tropical-storm-since-1962-disaster/ Windity shows that there is a chance of getting heavy eastbound winds on Saturnday in Phuket.

NCC1701A Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) forecast to pass slightly to the south of Koh Samui this Friday at 14:00. unfortunately that means more rain and wind for the islands.

Old Croc Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Some mentioned this storm several days ago. It's now projected to head further to the north and Gulf Islands could be in for a hiding. https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/1075145-safety-measures-boosted-at-bustling-phuket-ports-for-new-year/?do=findComment&comment=13686888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
