The winds of change are upon us-- SW to NE

[steelepulse]

According to windguru, we're in the transition period between monsoons. Looks like the next week will show changing wind directions with overall nice weather. Bring on high season weather, but not the high season crowds!

Definitely. The wind is blowing from the SE at the moment. On the cusp between the two monsoons. Expect lots of electrical storms in the evenings.

On the east coast, blue skies. Clouds are forming over the Nakkerd hills and then raining on the west coast (snigger).

That was some kinda squall that blew in last night about 5:30..........

Wind is back to the west, so, looking at the Patong weather cam to see what the next hour will bring.

Looks like it will rain in the next twenty minutes here in Chalong.

Wind directions on Windguru seems to be doing pirouettes.

KB: Could you share the link to the Patong webcam?

[KarenBravo]

Here you go.

Thank you sir! That can be handy every now and then.

The view however, is not very inviting currently.

[KarenBravo]

It gives a great picture of weather coming from the west, the view is irrelevant.

But the date shown on the Patong webcam image goes back to 2012...glad to see the Phuket Aquarium cam works well.

The date's wrong, but, you can see the image is live.

It's quite odd to watch the rain moving from East to West on the rain radar loop --->

Powerful thunderstorms are on their way now. Coming from the east.
