Samui Coconut Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Here in KPG not a drop of rain yet 5 drops on the windcreen as I drove back from Nathon 1 hour ago. I'm suprised the power is still working. Light drizzle in Bangrak as we speak.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The wind speed & rain on Saturday is a bit of a concern, wind gusts from 42 to 81 Km & huge amounts of rain in the PM. http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=30397 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I learn in the past years do not trust too much the predictions of the Guru. 81 Km/h is just a step less than a typhoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I learn in the past years do not trust too much the predictions of the Guru. 81 Km/h is just a step less than a typhoon They have already reviewed their wind prediction, but bucketful's of rain.

lom Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 81 Km/h is just a step less than a typhoon Quite a big step since a Tropical storm is between 62-88 km/h, a severe Tropical storm 89-117 km/h, Typhoon starts at 118. I hope their new prediction holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 It's a tad wet out there now.

AngThong Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Had a bit of rain on KPG, the air feels a lot fresher & it's been cooler today. Nice. I would rather keep my electricity though, no problems so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 A couple of short showers today, in Maenam area, electric went south both times.... Maybe rain coming on week end? ...... that will put a damper on Songkran..... Garden sure could do with a good rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amusements Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) I got caught in a bit of rain today in Lamai today. Unfortunately, I had a 9 inch Gecko appear on my bonnet and proceed to walk up my windscreen at the time......Wheeeek! Did anybody see a 9 inch lizard flying in to the main road near Tescos this morning? I felt guilty all morning. I should of knocked my wiper off duh!

angryfarang Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 The weather is terrible for Songkran - maybe it's rained off for the first time? Pictures from the SamuiWebCam site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 The weather is terrible for Songkran - maybe it's rained off for the first time? No likely. There is not much difference between rain water and water from a bucket. Except that the rain water is likely to be warmer! There is usually ice in the bucket! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but, it's better getting wet when it is hot, ice in the bucket or not.... Big gusty winds here in Maenam, power been off once for a few seconds already.... I won't be going far unless my neighbours offer the truck to drive around in, which is what they do most years.... I think not a lot of enthusiasm, so far!

Rooo Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 What is wrong with Windguru, was making the right prediction now showing no rain at all all day. , it's been pouring here for a few hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulfsailor Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 What is wrong with Windguru, was making the right prediction now showing no rain at all all day. , it's been pouring here for a few hours. Windguru has been way off the past week. First predicting storms and heavy rains, which didn't come, then as of today it is supposed to be dry. Well not on the Samui I live!
