Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

[Dannie Boy]

I watched it go west to east. Strong winds here but the rain clouds passed over north HH

North HH got a good drenching!

It started to fizzle out as it approached Cha Am, just a short light shower

[Dannie Boy]

Out here towards Cha Am, we have had torrential rain today - same in HH?

[Big Boy]

I was in Cha-Am earlier, and saw some light rain (between 1 and 2). Bit of a downpour about 3:30 in Hua Hin, but didn't last long.

[wpcoe]

On Soi 80, just the usual late-afternoon shower around 400pm. Nothing torrential, and nothing long-lasting, maybe 30 minutes?

If this one stays on course I guess it could make it all the way to Hua Hin. Stay tuned.....

Very clear on the satellite this morning entering Thailand: http://www.sattmet.tmd.go.th/newversion/mergesat.html

Although not that heavy, we had rain throughout most of the night and it's been gently raining all morning, although it looks as though the sun is trying to break through the clouds

[PeteC]

It's all just about past where I am. See the link.... clear sky is close. I'm glad we're not near that monster storm shown on the right. That's going to be a mess.

It's a huge one, but it seems only the remnants will get to the north and northeast next week. Airlines are cancelling flights into Hong Kong left and right now. Pete

The authorities there have announced a red alert ahead of the expected arrival of the storm on Monday.

The US Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Centre said on Friday that Usagi was packing sustained winds of 240 km/h (150 mph), with gusts of up to 296 km/h (185mph), making it the equivalent of a strong category four Atlantic hurricane.........."
