Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

[Dannie Boy]

We had a very intense thunderstorm last evening, the heaviest rain was between 7&8 pm with directly overhead lightning and very loud thunder, but it continued off and on at a lower intensity throughout the night. I had to dump water from the swimming pool three times to avoid it overflowing.

[Big Boy]

I sat on the front porch watching the light show from 7 until 9 - not a drop of rain here

[Nereus]

I wasn't aware this happened until seeing the news this morning.
Bangkok streets flooded, heavier rain warned
....."Heavy rain flooded a dozen streets in nine Bangkok districts on Friday while the Meteorological Department predicted heavier downpours from Sunday due to tropical storm Mujigae.".....

Yes, I was caught out in it yesterday. Strange, as it came in from the West moving East. Another big storm this morning, it has also moved out to the the East, and is around the Airport right now.

Maybe with some luck those almost empty reservoirs up north will get some filling. Pete

....while I'm at it before the power goes out. I've got rivers running down the street here in Rayong as I speak and the temp has dropped to chilly!

[Nereus]

The synoptic charts show an intense low pressure trough extending all the way from India in a West to East line out into the South China Sea. It has cleared up where I am in Bangkok, but the cloud bank out east of the airport is huge. It appears to be stationary, but the cloud bank is fascinating to watch. It looks like a huge mountain range, but peaks keep slowly changing. It is most probably well past the airport, but if not there will be some bumpy landings!

[PeteC]

Yes....if you look at the below link it shows the movement. Radar as of 1130 hours so an hour ago already. Pete

BUT NO!

[JamesWest]

Light rain now in Khao Takiap and for the past 12 hours off and on.
