Weather Cam On Phuket

[Anthony_Mustang]

G'day all,

I hope you find this link useful.

It's a webcam on Karon Beach showing the conditions on the Beach.

Thanks, both of you, for two great sites. It would be good if members could post any other interesting Phuket Web cam or similar sites here too.

I didn't realise that the view from the headland at that end of Karon was so good. My wife and I want to stay somewhere around there for a couple of weeks in Sep when we come over for good from UK to retire and while we're finalising a long-term rental house in the south of the island. We'll take a look at the place that has the cam.

Have a nice day

Watching the rain radar show this last night's rain around Phuket was quite dramatic.

I'm a life long weather watcher. I compare the radar image with the cloud satellite image to generate my own personal local (Kata) 24 hour forecasts...

Unfortunately that image for a very large area, but so long as you know where Phuket is located it gives longer range forecasting.

Also the 24 hour animated cloud images is very interesting, but takes a while to load all 24 images...

are the pics supposed to flash constantly or is something wrong with my connection

The web cam image works Ok for me, at the moment. But in the past I have experienced that flashing. Don't know why

Just click on the image and that should bring up the normal speed without the flashing.

The rain radar at Phuket airport is fascinating. You can see what it means, and I know that it shows the intensity of rain, but I'm curious exactly what physically is being recorded and what the indicated units are. Anyone know?
