rooster59 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Rains to come late this year: Phuket Met By The Phuket News The average rainfall and temperatures for Phuket from 1981-2010. Image: TMD PHUKET: The Phuket branch of the Thai Meteorological Department (Phuket Met) has warned that the annual rains that usually arrive with the southwest monsoon may be late this year due to the El Nino global weather pattern. “The southwest monsoon usually begins sometime between mid- to late April or early May, depending on the year, but this year we expect the rains to come late,” Sorot Sawatdiraksa, a meteorologist at the Southern Meteorological Center (West Coast), based at Phuket International Airport, told The Phuket News. “This year El Nino is not so strong, already making the amount of rainfall we have had this year less than in the past few years,” Mr Sorot said.

Psimbo Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I guess the rain last night was to be expected after the story at the top ofthe page. Hopefully a bit more to come and knock the dust down. the roads need a good drenching to wash the accumulated crap off them- gonna be (even more) dangerous for a bit.

Joe Mcseismic Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The Indian Met office SW monsoon forecast is that it will arrive in India at the normal time. I trust the Indian Met office far more than the Thai counterpart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
