Tropicalevo Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I think that Rooo is correct. Windguru was forecasting this one a few days ago - but they have downgraded it in Samui for the last two days. http://www.windguru....ex.php?sc=30397 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiggy Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 I hope so, but BBC news is running same outcome and TMD weather now. Reckon it will pass as a depression at best, no big deal. However typhoon Gay in 89 started in similar way lower SCS into gulf, but that was a freaky event indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Depressions aren't necessarily good things tho, they tend to bring tremendous amounts of rain and are very slow moving so it can dump alot of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoorSucker Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 BANGKOK, Nov 15 – Heavy rain is expected to hit a number of provinces between Bangkok and the South later today and into the weekend according to the weather bureau. The upper southern provinces along the Gulf of Thailand, particularly Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon and Surat Thani, will have rain due to a depression from the South China Sea, according to the Meteorological Department. Somchai Baimuang, deputy director general of the Meteorological Department, said the depression will move through Vietnam peninsular towards the Gulf of Thailand tomorrow and several southern provinces, will get wet from today to Sunday. Rainfall may be heavy in some areas, and flooding is possible, Mr Somchai said, predicting the maximum rainfall at over 90mm—seen as "very heavy." There will also be rain in the lower northeast, central and eastern regions which will add water in the reservoirs. Cold breezes will cover upper Thailand on Saturday when temperatures in the North and Northeast will drop by 2-4 degrees Celsius and winds will be stronger. Bangkokians are advised that the capital will get showers for six days from today through Tuesday. The depression is unlikely to develop into a tropical storm.
