petercallen Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 The weather is the same as it always is this time of year Just local thunder storms, it can be raining heavily half a kilometre away and bone dry at our house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 November weather is always tricky to forecast. From my own observations it looked like the rainy weather was likely to finish early November, but now I am not so sure. Have to say that global weather patterns are all becoming less predictable.

stevehaigh Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 i'm enjoying the cooler temps, especially at night. lovely fresh breeze today too. i don't think you can beat Phuket for weather, not in Thailand anyhow. I know Samui is hurting, they have only had 1151mm or rain this year compared to 2524mm for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The most reliable weather forecast here is IMO Wundguru. And even Windguru I don't trust more than 2 days in advance. The forecast you have here doesn't look too bad though, with on none of the days more than 60% chance of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantFan Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Absolutely pissing down last night around 3AM. Lasted a long time. It woke me up and I'm a sound sleeper. Had a small break of sun for an hour or so, but now sprinkling again. Morning commute around Patong must have been interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Time to remove the 4 posts arguing about how 60% chance of rain should be interpreted. My interpretation is 'more likely than not that there might some rain'. But then again all these forecasts are just generalisations. best look at the rain radar for the best idea of rain in the near future. Right now...

petercallen Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Rained every day in Rawai for the last few days, typical thunderstorm weather for this time of year Early in the month we had no rain at all for about 10 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantFan Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Agree. Radar is best. Seems like latest weather is circa 3 years ago or so. Usually, some rain in early Nov. and then it dries out. Some years back (I am saying 3, but it could be more) it seemed to rain all the way to January. Further back, not a drop from Oct - April. That was the year they were worried about the Bang Wad dam being too low. I guess it was a fairly dry Sept / Oct. I wish it would stop for a few days as I need to cut my grass.

Guest Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 No rain here, except I just ate pretty spicy nam tok moo, which releases water from the nose and head. This thread started almost 2 months ago. I guess we can say that the dry season did not come early. When it comes to the weather predictions which show rain and thunder for every day here in Phuket, I ignore those pretty much. For now on I show this photo to my friends who asks does it rain in Phuket as the prediction shows so. Under the thunder clouds yes, all around no. Some part of the day yes, all the time no.

And 3BB ADSL didn't come back until just before 5 pm in south Rawai. Also, cable TV was off until about 6:30. Welcome to LOS - lots of showers.

My 3BB and KPP internet were both working fine all day and I'm on the southern part of Soi Cokmakham. But it did rain pretty hard and quite a bit of lightning and thunder. My dog had to cower on the sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
