To talk about the weather is common in countries which suffer generally bad weather.

Where you live it usually rains a lot less than where we live

The opposite is happening at present

Of course it's not the monsoonal weather season yet. Once the wind shifts, they'll get more rain than us! Edited February 24, 2013 by Jimi007

I think this thread (Rain...) should be resurrected. Started in 2004 and ran for nearly 6 years.

Sorry. What does that thread have to do with the weather in Phuket?

[stevehaigh]

[Jimi007]

It started pouring rain here in Rawai a few minutes ago.

I wish it would bugger off, i want a few days holiday!

[Old Croc]

It's not raining in Chalong at the moment.

[petercallen]

We had a good heavy rain storm yesterday, the first one this month

I wish we would get one once or twice a week there would still be plenty if fine weather

[stevenl]

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.

Is it the last remnants of the NE monsoon or the beginnings of the SW one?

It would be 2 months early for the SW monsoon.

Getting a good soak in Kamala now, biggest I have seen in a while.

[LivinginKata]

Heavy shower just started here in Kata. I doubt it will last long.

Yes, lasted about 5 minutes.

[SeaVisionBurma]

Just got a good drenching out at Ao Por, lasted 40 minutes

When seeking an accurate weather report I simply look out the window. Very specific to my location and usually accurate for the next 30 minutes.

Bunta's method in practice. Huge thunder (or an earthquake) just made the patio tremble.

I heard a loud boom about 10 minutes or so also. Assumed it was just thunder.

I think it was thunder, but as we have had few minor quakes here, it's an posibility.

I never felt anything when the quakes struck Phuket (or Koh Yao), just heard the loud bang at the time.

A very loud boom and I just assume the local street transformer has blown the ceramic fuse.

Nice little 'pop up' storm came through about 15 mins ago.... I had already checked the radar and the big stuff inbound had dissipated .....

Checked it again and the storm was clear....just as it reached the coast it suddenly intensified from zero to hero and along came the rain.

Single cell, back to nothing again now.
