Correct forecast, but when are we going to get some rain. One minor shower in the last 4 weeks.

No rain in Ban Phe for many, many weeks now. Very hot in the daytime. Not much wind to help. Live just off the beach and that doesn't even help.

Probably have not been here long enough but dry season starting in early October was unexpected.

I live on Samui, but am confused by the terms "Southern region (east coast)" and " Southern region (west coast)".

 

Samui is obviousy in the west of The Gulf but on the east side of the southern peninsula.

 

Please can someone clarify this for me?

 

Sorry if I am just being "Thick".
