Rain Coming, Finally

[stevehaigh]

good news folks

[steelepulse]

Let's hope so.

[hansgruber]

Not today. Cloud is clearing.

[NomadJoe]

Even a couple days out WG is usually inaccurate.

Even a couple days out WG is usually inaccurate.

Yes, WG is usually accurate for the next day, and more or less for 2 days in advance. So they're a lot better than any other site, never seen a reliable forecast even for the next day there.

But more than 2 days: no site, including Windguru, has any reliability.

I guess there should be different rain predictions for different parts of the island.

Sometimes the rains come to the east coast, but not reach to the west like noted in the few past weeks.

[Guest]

One strong, but small sized storm coming towards Ao Por at the moment (looking at the rain radar). Outside the sky is getting darker and thunder sounds coming from distance.

I see that http://www2.tmd.go.th/radar/pkt120Loop.php

Most likely dump any rain on the east side of the island. But lets hope some rain makes it over to the west side.

[Guest]

The rain already started. Temperature dropped already from 29.8 to 26.1C. Cool.

Now already 23.3C. Pretty heavy rain.

The downside of this is.. Electricity went down.

Getting a little in Kamala now. My FIL who has no idea what a weather report is, predicted rain in 20 minutes..20 minutes ago.

About 2 minutes of heavy rain here in Kata - seems to be over already.

[Guest]

Good that the whole island got at least some rain. Freshens the air.

We have still a bit of rain, but slowing down at the moment.

Shot: What is FIL?

[petercallen]

About 6 drops at our place in Rawai so far

Shot: What is FIL?

I would guess - Father in Law

[tolsti]

raining here on Nanai Rd, Patong....... seems pretty weak though as if it were the edge of a storm cloud. Booger.....need a good storm to clear the air.

Yes. Father in Law. Still raining in Kamala

[LivinginKata]

It's still trying to rain more in Kata - another heavy few minute shower just stopped. C'mon - rain more.

Older people, who have lived in one location for a long time seem to be able to read the nature better than others.

Part of local feng shui.

Yip rain in Rawai, my Soi, good for the garden. Yppeeh 3 times rain in 5 days time and only in the evening !

[JetsetBkk]

Yep, rain came, Internet went. Same same.

I guess you live fairly close to me. I've had rain three times as well. The other night I got 1 CM. The night before that, my rain gauge fell over, so not sure how much I got.But much better than putting on the sprinkler.And yes Olinki, it is much cooler! 25.4C with 77% humidity.

[hansgruber]

That was a sprinkle. No eureka moment.

[Colonel_Mustard]

Quite heavy rain up here in the north of the island for a couple of hours.

[IrishIvan]

It was heavy in Chalong last night. Had to move inside when at Kanaeng

[Guest]

Brace yourselves. Some heavy rain coming. Just started here.

You only live about 500 metres from us and we have only had one light shower so far this month

Sorry! I guess we are blessed! But maybe more like one kilometer apart. You know how it is round here, it could be raining on beach road, but not at my house.

They have advertised the new houses next to us that they cannot sell as being half a kilometre from the beach front

You are probably right, 1 KLM by road

A short small drizzle in Kamala......I'm talking rain here

[Jimi007]

It's tried to rain a couple of times today, raining a bit, then stopped. It 73% humidity out, so please, just rain!
