annetta Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 My dear residents, could you please update me with the current weather in Phuket? All the forecast until the first week of August are just horrible and some speak about a tropical storm! I'm supposed to arrive on 11th August, wait for your fresh news!

LivinginKata Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) Quite horrible these past 3 days. Gusty wind, very cloudy, fast moving rain showers, very rough seas. Cool 26 C. No idea about the longer term forecasts (which are rarely correct) Edited July 10, 2007 by LivinginKata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenbead Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 It has been very windy indeed. We have had several short power cuts, I guess because of the wind. Cloudy, grey skies and intermittent rain. Nice and cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The best part of the rain is that it helps prevent drought and replenishes the natural water table. I'd rather rain than be caught gasping for air (chiang mai fever) or worry about brush fires. Besides the puddles let kids splash about and drive their parents crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao Annetta Should stop raining sometime around the end of November.....maybe that's why it's called the monsoon season I'll have a word to see if I can change it for your arrival in August, but just in case it doesn't work, I'd bring an umbrella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Burr Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Should stop raining sometime around the end of November.....maybe that's why it's called the monsoon season Hmmm....everyday in Phuket is "monsoon" season. Monsoon refers to wind direction, not rain. The north-east monsoon from November to April brings dry, fine weather. The south-west monsoon from May to October brings rain.
