A week of thunderstorms, week of sunshine

Last week was a week of afternoon thunderstorms. Like clockwork at 3pm the rain started to pour. We had a few overnight showers also. Now this week it has cleared to be hot and sunny again with offshore light wind. Sam had a great windsurf session on the 7th with a big storm coming in and blowing 20 knots for a couple of hours - makes for good windsurfing.

The last couple of days we have also had some small waves - a prelude to what is to come in the next few months. GREAT.

February

 Michele and Isabelle from Hong Kong just learned to windsurf with Sam. They had a great time.

Well I don't know how it happened but it has been a month since the last post. The weather has been mostly blue sky and sunshine. Light winds, with the odd day of good winds. We had a few days of rain which got the small river flowing, but  other than that it has been nice. The evenings have been relatively cool.
The last couple of days have been HOT, so we have been shade dwellers.

Koh Lanta High season

Haven't written for a while - we are full on into High season. Over the christmas period we had great weather for windsurfing - the most consistent 2 days of wind seen for this time of year. The first day of the new year saw Rain - actually quite refreshing and gave us a chance for a day off. It cleared in one final downpour on the 2nd then from then it has been hot and sunny. by next week there should be some more showers - forecast anyway.
Happy new year.

Cloudy but nice

High season is upon us, the weather has been mainly patchy blue skies, then high level cloud. Not rain but overcast - which is great because you are less likely to get sunburnt. By mid week it is expected that there may be some rain showers but clearing by Sunday. Also hopefully some wind for a bit of a windsurf.

Waves and sunshine

We have had some waves, Monday very early was great with 3-4 foot in the morning then 2 foot for most of the day, and lovely sunshine. Great to have a last surf before we really head into the high season of calm seas. The winds are now predominently offshore. Last week there was a big low on the east coast that gave us overcast skies and some drizzle. But now is looking clear and calm.

sunny and calm

The weather has been hot and perfect. Sunny skies have seen the temperatures get higher. There are been onshore but very light sea breezes for the last 4 days, this is supposed to change by Monday as there are stronger off shore winds forecast.

November weather

The first couple of weeks of November were sunny, with onshore wind which is unusual for this time of year. We even had some waves thrown in. Now we have seen afternoon thunderstorms which occurred the same time last year also.

Now the sea is mainly flat so beautiful flat water paddling.
