KarenBravo Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 The rain so far has definitely helped with the water-table. A month ago about 1.50 m in the well. Now have 2.80 m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus Tuft Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yes, a bit of blustery with this rain, windy and nice. Except I have to ride to Bangtao soon! This one was odd on the radar, it didn't slowly move across from the sea, it just sort of built up & appeared over us (I am in Rasada Phuket town) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R123 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Hi Everyone: I live in Pattaya but am thinking of having a week in Phuket namely the Patong area. However seems the weather ain't good right now and i took a look at the next 10 day forecast and the same weather seems to be predicted as what it is right now. So is the weather as bad as some of the above photos suggest? Are tourists havng it bad or what? In my case I don't need to lie on the beach but do various touristy things in the day time and bars etc at night. Thanks any input....

Flash floods are not the normal. Any flood drains aways in a couple of hours. We can expect this for the next+ 4 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Apparently there were the usual floods near ToT this morning and one of the News sources had pictures of flood waters at the Tesco corner where the second underpass is being constructed.

JetsetBkk Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Just waiting for some good flooding pictures...... Sorry, not have - just a few puddles... Fancy a dip? Just a touch of good, clean silt washed down from the mountains into Patong bay. I'm sure there's no bacteria or human waste mixed in with that lot...

hansgruber Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Beautiful day today. It's been very dry compared to years past. The big problem with a dry wet season is a very dry high season. I see the water problems getting worse for sure next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Beautiful day today. It's been very dry compared to years past. The big problem with a dry wet season is a very dry high season. I see the water problems getting worse for sure next year. Especially if you have to rely on government water. Have a bloke I've known for 14 years doing some repairs to my garden sprinkler system. He says that there are lots of wells that have run dry this year, especially in Kata-Karon, Rawai and Phuket Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Some serious storms coming soon. There has been a lot of lightning and thunder over Koh Naka since last night. Already had some serious rain over Karon and Patong this past hour. Lot's of flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hard rain in Kamala for about 20-30 minutes with some minor street flooding. Clear now but lots of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Tuft Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Radar is downIt's sunny. Didn't get a chance to follow this up. I use the radar mainly to see what it will going to be like in 1-3 hours, not what the weather is now. Of course I can open the window to see the current weather At this time of year I find it useful to check the radar before going out on the scooter for a trip. As it often makes the difference between getting caught in rain or avoiding it by changing my timing. It is the very useful planning tool when going out on the bike.

stevenl Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I much rather rely on my own observations. Last sunday e.g. it was raining a bit at my house, and the radar showed thunderclouds. Looking outside, especially up, I expected it to be dry at Nai Harn beach. So went there, and had 1 hour of sun before I returned home (also sunny by then).

Shot Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 What a great day. Cloud cover, light and sometimes heavy rain. Temp. never past 28 at our house. Air smells fresh, water tanks full, garden watered. Beer time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
