Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand
A reminder of a non-event here in Thailand. June 21 is the beginning of summer, the longest day of the year, the start of the sun marching from my front yard to my back yard once again, and the time for all our far north readers to begin planning their winter trips to Thailand.

I sit over here at dawn watching a hell of a lot of lightening over your way. Getting wet this morning? It's been dry as a bone over here for 10 days, sprinklers on daily. Pete

South braces itself for stormy weather

Torrential rain has triggered flash floods and chaos in many areas of the South.
A tropical storm is moving south from China's Hainan province and has reached the Gulf of Tonkin in northern Vietnam. Its direction is being monitored by the Meteorology Department.
Heavy rain will continue to hit many parts of the country until Thursday and could bring about more flash floods and mudslides, said Wanchai Sakudomchai, the director of the meteorology office for the eastern South.
Hardest hit so far are Phuket and Phangnga provinces which have encountered torrential rain since Saturday.
Yesterday a ferry, which transports passengers between Phuket and Koh Phi Phi, sank in the Andaman Sea due to bad weather. Five crew, including the captain, managed to survive in an inflatable boat, said Pol Lt Col Walop Puangpaka, inspector for Phuket water police.
The ferry was hit by a gigantic wave as it returned from Phi Phi without passengers. When the boat filled up with water, Crew members abandoned the vessel. The ferry is adapted from a fishing boat and could carry up to 26 passengers, an investigation found.
In Phangnga, flash floods have hit more than 40 households in Takua Pa and Kapong districts. A market and a part of Phetkasem Road near Khao Lak resort beach are also under water.
Officials and navy soldiers have rushed to help villagers, but relief supplies have still not reached those in Kapong district.
The heavy rainfall also caused a landslide on Khao Sok mountain, which has blocked part of a road connecting Takua Pa and Surat Thani provinces. Officials closed the roads as they cleared the mud.
Heavy rains also caused the closure of Khao Sok national park yesterday until Thursday. Two years ago, a flash flood in Nam Talu cave in the park killed eight tourists.
Meanwhile, other provinces are bracing for storms. Officials in Satun have begun stockpiling relief supplies after its Langu and Khuan Ka Long districts were flooded. Officials in Trat province have set up a special centre to deal with the impact of flooding.

I don't know why the article is talking about the storm off Vietnam. Per below it appears weak and if it hit's Thailand, just a small part of Issan. PeteSTEVE G wrote:I hope these storms stay in the South Pete, because I was thinking of coming back out next week.
