Not quite a one liner, but the wife said to me this morning "I'm so wet, give it to me, give it to me!!!" "No chance, it's my umbrella."

keestha Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Extreme weather this year. June/July, practically never saw the sun here in Khao Lak, and rain positively every day. Tourists coming out of the hotels when the rain stops or becomes less for a bit, the colors of the hotel umbrellas tell me where they are staying. Sometimes passing them by, I feel like rolling down the car window, and shouting at them: "And, do you enjoy your cheap package tour?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor is there any reason for it, have you looked at the sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eezergood Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I am looking at it NOW - can see from my office, can you? Yesterday i saw a warning for rough seas and high winds and for small boats not to go out. These conditions coupled with the toal lack of respect for safety most 'captains' seem to have, I stand by the statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These conditions coupled with the toal lack of respect for safety most 'captains' seem to have, I stand by the statement. So where do I find this weather warning, if not from TMD? Ah, just found a weather warning on the site that shall not be mentioned, just like last time he came with a warning when there was none from the TMD. And TMD was right that time, considering the very calm weather we had those days, so the editor had to retract his statement, suddenly claiming he never issued a warning.

I just can't understand why anybody would want to write claims that are clearly and proven nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagallim Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) ^ If you look on the 'other' news source, there is in fact a weather warning for today, with winds gusting up to 50 kph, and 2-3 metre seas inshore, higher offshore.

See post 49. And the editor there is now also admitting there is no weather warning. It's not termed 'warning' only the potential wind speed and sea state. Certainly last night and early this morning, the squalls of heavy rain that passed through had very high winds. There's quite a lot of wind damage (in the Chalong area) where trees and parts of trees have been blown down. From experience, these squalls at sea are not pleasant to be in, particularly in a small boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It's raining cats and dogs, has been for the last few days. Whenever I take a look at the rain radar, it seems that the heavy rain clouds are going over northern Phuket, avoiding south. Is it the same in the south? I might be checking the radar only when rain transforms to waterfall and therefore it just seems that there is way more rain up here on the north.

Not a lot of rain down my way, which is about as far south as you can get. A bit over 2 CM since I emptied the rain gauge yesterday evening. But I did have about 10 CM the 24 hours before.
