It's raining in Phuket. I just got a call from Takua Pa near Phang Nga. It is raining cats and dogs right now.

The post below is from the Phuket forum:

A few showers at this time of year is normal.

There are actually three seasons here; rainy season, cool and dry season and hot and dry season.

It is now changing from cool and dry to hot and dry season.

During the change, the land is heating up faster than the air. The hot air rises and is chilled to form storm clouds and rain.As the air heats up further, the difference in temperature between the land and the air won't be so great, so the chances of rain will decrease until the SW monsoonal wind takes over in May.

Can we expect the same? I can't remember if it rained (not drizzled) in March last year.

Reason for edit: the usual typos.
