timmyp Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Up until about two months ago, there was a great weather radar image for real-time rainfall over Bangkok. The image updated every few minutes, and I could easily see where it was going to rain before I got stuck in the rain. Looking at the radar, you could see that it's going to rain in Baan Khae, but that Dusit would be spared the rain. You could see that it was going to drizzle for just a few minutes over Benjakiti Park, so no reason to cancel a run in the park due to light rain. Because I drive a motorbike around Bangkok and do many outdoor activities, that site was incredibly useful. The image looked this, and could be enlarged. (the actual image was much larger) A few weeks ago, the same radar site changed to a different image, and now it is much harder to see exactly where the storms will be hitting within Bangkok. The resolution is low, so it's hard to glean any details even if you enlarge the image. I guess the new image is useful if you want to see storm information for a drive from Bangkok to Khorat or Ayutthaya. Here's the current image: http://www2.tmd.go.th/radar/bma.php My question: Does anyone know a good radar site that shows real-time weather radar over Bangkok with more detail?

ksamuiguy Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 All of the online radars need work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotsak Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Agreed, the new radar images are rather useless. Not to mention the way they grab the images via desktop screenshots and then uploading them on the internet thus reducing resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 This isn't what you're looking for, but I love this one for a bigger picture look: http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/1000hPa/overlay=total_cloud_water/orthographic=-254.10,15.29,1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyp Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 If they would just go back to the radar image they were using a couple of months ago, I would be a happier, more lovable person again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
