igotworms Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Friday, October 8, 2004 It’s official: the rainy season’s here PHUKET: The Southern Meteorological Center (West Coast) today issued an advisory suggesting that hotels and the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Phuket office inform tourists (in case they hadn’t noticed) that it is now the rainy season. Heavy showers in the 24 hours to 7 am today dumped 67.7 mm of rain on the island. Vichit Phuangsombat, Director of the center, told the Gazette, “Phuket is now in the rainy season. There will be rain until the end of this month. There will also be some rain in November, though not much.” He added, “There is no monsoon wind [at present], but we would like to warn people not to go diving or swimming.” He also advised local authorities to ensure that all drains are cleared in order to avert flooding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The last few days have been freezing. The casual home attire has shifted from underwear-only to underwear and socks. Not a pretty sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
