Pormax Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Does Thailand have modern technology for weather forcasting or is it the primary school children who do the guesswork. I ask this as I try to follow the weather for my wife's family who are all farmers and lately the forecasts have been so very wrong. I look at the website and tell them if they need to water seeds, vegetables flowers etc and then made to look stupid as very rarely is the forecast correct. I use the Thai Visa weather web page which is a joke so tried another web page at www.yr.no but have the same results. For example over the past 2 days the forcast showed rain practically all day with rainfall anticipated at 23mm on Thursday and 17mm yesterday. What did we have? less than 2mm over the 48 hrs. Today's Thai Visa forecast was for 3.6mm rain between 1am and 7am. What did we get? No rain!! With today's technology surely they can do better than this. Anybody know a fairly accurate weather forcast website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_brownstone Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 No use for long term forecasts but this site can be useful : http://www2.tmd.go.th/radar/bma.php Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandBert Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I use the Accuweather site. I also have a desk top application that gives me a 5 day forcast. I don't think any of them are 100% The website has a decent radar cover as well. Worth a try I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that a 100% accuracy is not possible but I fail to understand how they can be so wrong and unreliable. I believe a lot of it is guesswork.
