Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

[Big Boy]

Yes, we've had a little bit. Nothing to get excited about though.

[hhinner]

Consider this a joyous post. Skies generally overcast, rain, some heavy, some sunny periods. More rain forecast. Lower temperatures.

Glad to see some rain making its way in the area.... Thanks for the update!!!

Freak waves batter beaches in the south

SHOPS, HOTELS and extensive sections of two seawalls were badly damaged in Krabi and Phang Nga provinces after severe waves and rainstorms hit Thailand's south-west coast.
On Sunday, high waves pounded the shore at Khao Lak, damaging local business premises at Bang Niang beach. Meanwhile, a 300-metre-long section of seawall on Nopparat Thara beach and parts of a seawall on Tham Phranang beach at Railay Bay in Krabi were hit by bad weather yesterday.

Tourist numbers in Krabi have reportedly shrunk by 20-30 per cent, while visitors have been warned not to swim in the sea and small boats remain moored onshore. Yesterday people continued to repair the damage at Bang Niang beach, while Takua Pa district clerk Damrong Chimthab inspected the cracked seawalls, which have now been strengthened with piles of sandbags.

Krich Sitthibutr, 44, who runs a fish farm at Ban Nai Rai Bay in the district, said the remarkably high tides - said to be the highest of the decade - had caused Bt100,000 in damage to his farm.

Phang Nga disaster prevention official Somkiat Inthonkham said the high waves were a result of the annual monsoon and seasonal high tides - not from an earthquake in the Indian Ocean. To compound the damage from the waves, gusty winds also damaged 100 homes and 20 rai of farmland in Phang Nga, Somkiat said.

In Trang's Sikao district, the three-metre-high waves that hit Pak Meng beach on Friday eased to a height of one-metre. However, authorities in the area said they would continue to monitor the situation for a further two days as tourist businesses by the beach clean up their premises.

Well I do not know about Hua Hin because Accuweather has the weather as cloudy all day and nothing about significant rain - still let's hope.

The article mentions Prachaub but most likely further south than HH.

Is this still a good time to be in HH? As I read before there will be rain. But it will not rain all day ( apart from exceptions ofcourse). Thinking about coming over next week.

It's hardly rained at all since I got here last Friday. I've just been lucky I guess.

[PeteC]

Some heavy duty storms over here in the East at the moment, and appears to be coming in off the sea from the west. Imagine HH will have something or already has. Pete

We've had light showers most of the day. Nothing substantial though.

I don't do 5am - at that time of day we could have a blizzard, and it wouldn't disturb me

I was up and about and ' dry as a bone ' - the only banging was coming from a nearby house!
