Pissing down in Patong as at 20.00

Yes, I wonder how many tons on mud will wash off the hill this time?

Raining again in Patong.

Posted for all you members that like to plan their journey across the island. :)

Really hammering it down now in Kata.

Yep, it looks like a creek outside my house. Quite a burst of rain. We need the water though.

Are you telling us it's "hammering down" because the radar says it is, or because you can see it looking out your window?

Probably the tears from all the tourists that were hoping for sunshine. :)

I can't see anything out of my window, other than a black rain cloud. Visibility was less then 100m

Because I can do both: http://panphuket.com/weather Although it has calmed down again. Yet another micro burst for now...

More than once I have had to turn around because of flooded roads on my way to do some shopping or other business up in Phuket Town. If I use the radar it at least provides me with a bit more information so I don't get caught in the mess. To each his own I suppose. I've been caught in downpours I couldn't see anything here. Not much fun when it may be preventable. But than you again thank you for your unceasing devotion to trying to answer my posts... Cheers!

The radar is an accurate tool that I use daily. If I see a big green, yellow and red thing heading my way, I can change my route or timing and avoid traffic and street flooding problems.

Once again, for those members wishing to travel across the island, it is pouring rain in Patong right now. Your radar will confirm this. :)

Just a short shower as far as I can see .. not raining in Kata

I'm onto it. Very exciting Saturday night here. On the edge of my seat now.

When it stops raining, I'll head out to be "on the edge" of something, or anything. Not fussy.

My fridge is "on the edge" of running out of beer. :)

...and...cue brief shower. I do love this radar.

The rains seems to be very local. No rain today, but very, very hot and humid day. I burned my face while I was at the Phuket Air Park. It was still worth it, lots of things to see.

Completely forgot about the air park today! How was it? Any photos oilinki?

It was great. Photos coming very soon. I'm now processing and uploading those to the server. Will put the images to the US independency thread.

The festival continues tomorrow, so come up here to see the action.
