A light storm formed on Pattaya Beach on Thursday night, October 5th, near the Pattaya Police Station and caused minimal disruption.

 

Late on the night of October 5th, a brief but heavy rainfall struck Pattaya after the sweltering hot weather.

 

There were no reports of significant flooding, and the rain lasted for just over half an hour before subsiding and becoming sporadic.

Only lasted 30 minutes so just enough time to reapply the make-up and check their social media.

Doesn't look like light in the photo, and don't tell me the beach has gone on holiday again, just when I was thinking of a holiday myself.

I was in Jomtien for the entire month of September, and every day weather.com showed rain, rain, rain every day, sometimes all day.  There were three very brief showers the entire 30 days.  So, for Pattaya residents, that "sudden storm" is actually newsworthy.  For the rest of the world, or even the rest of Thailand, not so much.

Pattaya is one of the driest locations in Thailand. I would often ride my bicycle across the dark side into the hills surrounding Pat, and encounter heavy rain, then return to Pattaya,  and not a drop had fallen there. 

Rain storm caused minimal disruption.
