TJG Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Having been in Manila from a week yesterday to last Sunday, the effect of the typhoon on Pattaya is not even worthy of mention. We've had some rain and a bit of wind during the rainy season. It doesn't even compare to some of the flooding we have had here in the last two or three years.

Naiplan Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Don,t know about you, but seems to me I cannot ever recall such bad weather in Pattaya, and I've been here more than a decade.Feel sorry for all those affected by flooding etc, so best of luck to you....... Don't any of you people remember '83 or was it '84 when Pattaya Klang road and houses were washed into the bay by the rain storms. Beach road was washed away as well. That was bad weather.....not like the little showers we have been having lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGW Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I would say, and I'm sure the statistics would back me up, that this has been one of the driest wet seasons to date for quite a few years! How many years ago was it when we had so much rain the crocodile farm was flooded and all the crocs escaped? that was interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 3 years ago Sukhumvit was flooded that much that cars were floating away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think the OP was getting his weather from sensationalist media reporting, instead of actually taking a look out the window!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syd barrett Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I agee, a very violent thunderstorm has just hit Pattaya (November 17th) which is rather late in the year for such cloudbursts and electrical storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Syd I fully agree not seen anything like this one mid November before, quite violent and very heavy rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avidflyer Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 IMHO this is the best year weather wise in the 6 years I have been in Pattaya. Much cooler than average. Yearly total rain fall to date is 47.4 inches. Yearly average as of Nov. 17th is 52.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I agee, a very violent thunderstorm has just hit Pattaya (November 17th) which is rather late in the year for such cloudbursts and electrical storms. Agreed on that one, the mother and father of storms so far this year. It seemed to come over us from Rayong then stalled over Pattaya where it stayed for a long time, looked very scary indeed from Phoenix Golf Course.

Basil B Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Having been in Pattaya for just over two weeks (31/10 to 15/11/09) what I observed was, on Tuesday 3/11/09 woke to heavy winds that lasted two days but recall no rain, the temperature dropped below 20c at night and a day time high of 24c for a day or so before the temperatures soared so high I found last week so unbearably hot with the exception of last Saturday which was cloudy and cooler. As for rain, Passed through a rain storm Saturday 31/10 en route to Pattaya outside BKK that lasted about 20 mins, when I arrived in Pattaya it was dry and hot, it rained the following Saturday evening lasted less than an hour and one afternoon early last week there had been a down pour but missed that as I had been out on a boat all day, many times I have been out on a boat out at Koh larn or the Far Islands where it has been sunny and watched Pattaya and Jomtien get a cloud burst. As I always vacate first two weeks of November in Pattaya in my personal experience the last two week has been probably the best first two weeks of November for many year, now I am back in the UK, it is 5am near freezing outside, missed the gales of last weekend but getting weather warnings of more to come, one thing for sure I would rather be in Pattaya than the UK.

rolypie Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Has everyone forgotten the rain in early June? Most of Pattaya was under water, global warming perhaps??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
