Wish it would blow up north no cool us down and rip the air of the rubbish ! That picture to me looks great, dark grey skies, wonderful !

Let's hope for that rain.

Unfortunately TMD has not earned any trust or confidence in the past with their predictions. Whenever they say: strong winds, you know it is the perfect time to go out on a small boat, when they say 'no wind, better be careful of strong winds. Same for the rain.

Windguru is not totally reliable as well but much, much better.

some spectacular car accidents on their way...

That's right... TMD don't earn any confidence nor get their things together. EX.: Rain radar loop at <http://www2.tmd.go.th/radar/pkt120Loop.php>. The high trained stuff thinks 4 images with an interval of 3 HOURS will make a visual loop of the rain clouds. Many times mentioned, but the reaction or repair is ZERO since weeks.

I live in Phuket Town and haven't seen a drop of rain here in a few months.

Well, there was a few minutes of heavy rain in Patong circa 22.00 last night. Even took out the electricity for nearly an hour on Nanai.
