[Shot]

Oh my gosh, what a wonderful day. Rain, rain, rain, I just love it. Exhilarating. Delightful. Positively refreshing. It makes me want to sing. La, la, la……I loooooooooooooooove the rain.

I hope this is a helpful post in the Phuket forum.

I hope your dreams come true.

Love Shot

Quite a downpour for the past hour here in my part of Rawai!

[madmitch]

As I said earlier in the thread, I will bring the rain when I get back to Phuket having been away for a few weeks. Not quite right as I am on the way now, looking forward to negotiating the floods when I get there.

Drains overflowing into street where we live talk about famine or feast as far as the rainfall goes

Yes, has started over the hill also, but I was mainly talking about the couple of storms following behind this one.

[stevehaigh]

windguru is saying 2-3 more days of rain then back to sun, sun, sun. good news for you sun lovers, for me, this weather right now is perfect.

Really coming down in Chalong now. Looking at the radar there's a heap more coming!

Prepare for floods!

[LivinginKata]

Same here in Kata, really pouring.

What is that radar link? I think it should go in on the phuket weather tacked thread.

EDIT I see a radar link in the weather thread, but the image was crap and broken up. Is that the only radar image available?

Pouring down where we live if it does not stop the road will be flooded again

Also gusts of gale force winds, have to check the roof when it settles down

If Phuket radar is too cluttered with nearby rain try looking over at Phuket from Krabi radar ... http://www2.tmd.go.th/radar/krb.php

Not real time radar but I find this site useful ... http://www.weather.com/weather/map/interactive/Phuket+Thailand+THXX0018

Not any more, sunny with blue sky in Karon. Maybe Windguru is right after all.

Well, patches of blue sky just 3 km away here in Kata.

[grumpyoldman]

O.K. we're live again with clear blue skies.

Karon Beach yesterday, last day of August 2012.

I did a road trip today up to the very north of Phuket to see the Phuket rain radar.

So here it is

Mai Khao beach was beautiful and quiet as it always is.
