KhunBENQ Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 From the forecast of this storm, Phuket might come out "mildly" compared to Chumphon and other parts of western gulf coast for which it looks terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way I read the satellite tracks the main event is heading to Malaysia, but still dumping lot of rain on south Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot yes. A game of luck. The prediction shows a possible hit on Phuket as late as Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dick dasterdly Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 It was 'dark' and threatening rain all morning, but now the wind has picked up here in Rawai - but there are less clouds! I 'assume' the storm is on it's way in a few hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell on rain radar the eye is just about onshore north of Songkla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 It was so cold this morning, I woke up to a dream I was walking in Finland during winter. My feet felt so cold.. also after I woke up ???? Pretty much everybody was talking about the incoming storm at my village. Hopefully it's not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Was that it, was that what all the hype was about? This was far less wind and rain than your average summer storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 If that was it then bring on more. Sleeping with neither aircon nor fan last night. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
