quadperfect Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Right on time ,after yesterdays 47 knots they issue a warning. I knew weather was comming for a week. Though thai met was calling for about 20 knots yesterday .thai met just keeps a warning up even when its sunny and calm. I understand weather is hard to predict But with these guys its beyond that. Check out windguru for phuket. This site is about 50/50 but its closest we can get. I usually add 10 knots to windguru. And allow a 12 hour discrepency. Yesterday they had it at 33 knots. So at 47 i guess they win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 How can you argue when they provide such accurate and highly technical illustrations like the one above. A swarm of push pins is coming in from the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roel Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Friends are on holiday and have scheduled a round the island yacht trip for tomorrow. Should they be prepared for an uncomfortable ride or even better cancel the plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So doubt they're going to have a nice day, but it should be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
