MRToMRT Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Whats the best website for forecasts of Thailand weather? I have tried a few but they all just seem to say "rain" everyday for the rainy season like now, whereas we can have a sunny morning and rain just in the afternoon. What do you use/recommend?

Speedo1968 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I wet my finger and hold it in the air. Then I listen to what my body tells me. Ask a local farmer. Far more reliable than an "official" forecast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 For accurate local weather I use Windguru. I live on Koh Samui so the wind/waves etc are useful. Very detailed but not that accurate about 4 -5 days out. The weather changes quickly here. https://www.windguru.cz/30397 For general weather Accuweather is as good as any. Just set your location. https://www.accuweather.com/en/browse-locations/asi/th 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 they are all similarly inaccurate. I prefer radars where you can see where the rain is moving to\from https://weather.tmd.go.th/svp120Loop.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very deep into breaking provincial conditions, forecasts and real time updating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) For forecast I use: https://meteologix.com/th/forecast/1609350-bangkok/xltrend You can search for a multitude of Thai locations (seems like down to district level). It shows forecast values (temp, rain, wind) from a range of weather centers. I usually untick all but the "ECMWF" sites (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts). This is the precipitation forecast for Bangkok as an example: Edited October 19, 2021 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True if you want to check for taking umbrella or not Their composite is also interesting: https://weather.tmd.go.th/composite/index_composite.html Currently not much around except in the deep south.

MRToMRT Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Do any of these satellite projections cover more than a 3 or 4 hours? I found "rainviewer" to be incredibly accurate for rain but its just 3 hours forecast, which does not suit my needs because I want to know what the weather will be like tomorrow morning.
