time to pump some water out of my pool again

[madmitch]

We need it. If it were to carry on like the past week then we'll be out of water by the middle of February.

Hearing thunder in the distance as I type.

It's about time we had more rain. September was much dryer than the statistical norm.

we've has 1.7m of rain since jan 1, i think that's pretty average

look at Hua Hin, 24cm for the whole year! now that's dry. and all those golf courses and water parks. interesting to see how they get through next dry season.

We had a very loud lightning storm right overhead this morning. It was close enough to cause me to turn all the power off until it passed.

Not a drop of rain however.

[Guest]

Quite the opposite here. Had a hot sunshine in the morning and now it's raining quite heavily.

WG in this region is rarely accurate for than 2 days out. Don't expect those numbers to stay the coming days.

Frigid mother earth?

Are we going to enter to the thunderstorm season soon?

[LivinginKata]

Pouring down here in Patong.

Rains seems to be quite localized sometimes. Seems like mother nature has something against Koh Naka resort.

What happened to the 'When was the last time it rained at your house thread"?

[stevehaigh]

What happened to the 'When was the last time it rained at your house thread"?

i'm sure it will be back, that's climate change, wetter wets and dryer dries, hotter hots and colder colds.

That one's resurrected in February.

For sure it's quite colder than usual today. Might have to put a thicker shirt on

They even got a lot worse for the next days.

[steelepulse]

Looks like we're in for a big blow the next 4 days.

...........and yes, that was me at the bar in a parka type coat last night

[Guest]

Huge winds at the moment. Lights went down couple of times for a second. I guess there will be electric cuts tonight.

[huahinjoe]

in Kathu already no elecricity about an hour, i've been in the top beef restaurant when suddenly very strong gusts started to tear up the plastic covers and the billboards, ppl was so scare the old lady went under the table shaking, and everybody wanted to leave of course. One of the plastic cover fell on a parking car also, it was just like in the movies...

Sometimes they get lucky. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Yes and the weather looks bad too.

Windguru is still the best of a bad lot.

Has improved again BTW, I have stopped offering trips for 3 days now, and am thinking of starting again this Thursday.

Still some idiots went out yesterday. I really don't like anybody to determine if boats should be kept onshore, but with idiots going out yesterday they're asking for it.

Yes. Our boat has not gone out for 2 days. I had an open water course the last two days that were supposed to do the dives tomorrow and Wednesday. Instead I am doing something I don't often do in the tropics, issue them referral paperwork in order for them to do the dives elsewhere later. Usually we are on the receiving end of referrals.
