beechbum Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) The dam over near Phunaka golf course broke again, wasn't much rain at all but the klongs & roads being flooded here(Chalong) is due to the busted dam.

stevenl Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Absolutely horrendous rain here in northern Chalong, road outside my house flooded which is the worst I've seen in nearly 7 years of living here. Thankfully still below house level. I can only imagine what it's like on the main roads at the moment, and I'm amazed we still have electric and internet. my daughter just called, the school bus can't make it to town, she's coming home. barely a drop south of the circle AGAIN.this is the 3rd heavy ran storm in the last week where its stopped dead at the circle. weird. Yes, that sometimes happens, the rain just stops, always at the same place. Must be some atmospheric issues there. But I drove twice south of the circle today (from and to Rawai) this morning, and both times it was raining. Plus last night in Rawai we also had rain.

pagallim Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Unsurprisingly, I've been at home all day. What has been noticeable is the number of ambulance sirens that I've heard over the last few hours (I live around 400 metres or so from Chaofa West). Never a great sign, and wouldn't be surprised if the majority aren't RTA's as the road conditions/poor visibility through road spray etc must be appalling. Thankful I put a new set of tyres on my SUV a few days ago...... As I'm writing, rain has become torrential again.

LivinginKata Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yep - lots of rain in both Patong and Kata. Spent the morning in Patong cleaning up after the flooding of our building in the lower part of Patong.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I woke up to a heavy rain this morning and now, after couple of hours, the sun is shining once again. We could have this kind of weather whole year around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehaigh Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 I woke up to a heavy rain this morning and now, after couple of hours, the sun is shining once again. We could have this kind of weather whole year around. me too, its perfect at the moment, air is clear, not too hot, sea is blue. phuket haters are welcome to stay away as far as i'm concerned, i can't think of a better place to live right now (but i'll be complaining again soon enough) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 What is going to happen on Sunday? Looks like we are going to have some serious rain according to Windguru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 ^^^ Crazy big precip numbers for Sunday. If it holds true, Patong might just float away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Forecast for amount of rain is going down already, at present 35.8 and 21.6 for afternoon of Sunday, was earlier 40.1 and 37.8. Also earlier in the day at present far less rain predicted. I think it will get less worse all the time, and we'll end up with a few short but heavy showers.

stevenl Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Rain and wind forecast have more than halved now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 For the windguru, I think it's great that they update their forecasts as there is more data coming in. However I have lost my trust their 3 day forecasts. Not only in this occasion, but the same has happened before as well. This is what windguru shows today. Let's see what the weather will be.

stevenl Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 There are simply no reliable forecasts here 3 days in advance. Windguru is more or less ok 2 days in advance, and better 1 day in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt 35 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 My bet is steady rain until Monday afternoon. I actually think the weather is great, not to hot and still not more than that outside activities is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady with a bit of heavy in Chalong for the past few hours.
