Rain again.

Nothing landing at the airport right now - all approaching planes going round in circles....

Landing now. See them now on landing approach. God .... I am so bored today. Fed up with TV, now looking at web.

The antenna that's receiving that aircraft data at my home is swaying around like crazy at the top of my 20-metre mast - strong winds!

[stevenl]

Yes, heavy rain and wind here in rawai too.

[JetsetBkk]

One banana tree down today - must go rescue the 'nanas!

Dämn thunder made me jump!

Mother nature seem to have some issues with me. I was at Saphan Hin, when the heavy rain started. When I got back home, I asked one villager, did we have a good rain at Ao Por. He said, nope, just a bit of rain.

I did not manage to collect any rain water and now my tanks are empty (Orbotor did not deliver water).

The rain only lasted 20 minutes, hardly enough time to wet the roofs. Forget collecting rain water. For that we need hours of rain. My water truck delivered at 08.30, not free, I pay.

The rain in Saphan Hin, would have been few hundreds of litres. Enough for couple of days.

At This point I would be happy to pay, even quite a lot of overprice. But there are no source available, unless the Paklok municipality can get a truck up here. I'll have to go there to ask tomorrow again.

Sapan Hin looked like this, just before the rain started.

Saphan Hin, Phuket

Incoming rain at Saphan Hin

Also in rawai it was a real good shower, enough to wet roofs, roads and top up my tank.

I seem to have copped the worst of it again.

Heavy rain, very strong winds that came from every direction. One minute from the East then just as strong from the West, then North.

I'm close to the hill, I think the storms bounce around in our valley a bit before moving on.

We, and others, had to clear the road of fallen branches, one of which brought down the wires. Spent most of the evening without power as the electricity dept trucks charged back and forwards trying to work out how to fix it.

Pool gained another couple of inches and several thousand leaves.

Just saw a picture taken at Tesco Rawai of a tree that fell across a car badly damaging it.

A Burmese apparently got a broken leg.

There are pictures of this incident on PW this morning.

I see what you mean, and I just finished clearing the leaves and flies/ants out of the pool.

It seem to have passed on the rain radar and not a drop here in Kata. Looks like just the north end of the island got rain.

I've now heard the 20yo girl hit by the tree at Tesco has died.

Apparently she didn't want to wait with others in the store for the storm to pass and went alone to the car park.

RIP

Yes, very strange, one big bang and that was it!

Plugged everything back in after my nosh.

[grumpyoldman]

TMD loop showing something fairly large off the coast.

[hansgruber]

I want to lay a large patch of grass today and doing it in the rain is perfect. Come on down.

[Shot]

Nice rain in Kamala now. Hope it continues.

A good 15 minute soaking over in Patong.

Note on the TMD loop that the rain is coming almost from the south, so looks like the wind is swinging round to the west bang on schedule for the rainy season.

[beechbum]

Nothing in our part of Chalong yet

l

last thing i would do now is lay grass. i'm letting my garden go dry

[Old Croc]

Heavy rain before dawn at my place in Chalong this morning.

Good for the garden, but unfortunately didn't last very long..

[LivinginKata]

Gathering dark clouds over the west coast, moving into the land. 100% chance of rain on windguru over next few days.

Well ... that turned out to be about 10 big drops of rain on my car windscreen. So .. a big fat nothing.

I got a few more than that at about 11 am in Kata. Maybe 30 or 40.
