Satellite for SEA. This is updating from the net so what you see, should be a pic of the present.

Some other weather links that were posted by happyman on another thread...
Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) for long-range forecasts of hurricane, typhoon and cyclone worldwide

So that's why we are getting so much rain in Isaan with more to come. Good info.
Here's one of happyman's links live. Hopefully it updates.

Crap, I'm flying to Sulewesi today,looks like loads of rain...
What's the trajectory after landfall over VN? Issan for sure, I guess. Will it make it as far as Central Thailand?
Looks pretty darn menacing. Seems to be going west but BBC was saying southern China this morning; the remnants usually end up in Northeastern Thailand a lot fo the time. This time it looks like Vietnam is going to get a good washing down.
Thanks Rattanaburi - that was a really useful thread.. The kind of original info that is vital to many in travel..Quote:

Tropical depression 18 and another (likely to be tropical depression 19) are heading towards the Philippines now. Tropical depression 18 is highly likely to be at typhoon strength before it makes landfall there.
The end result is, I'd expect the Philippines to have more serious flooding...and north eastern Thailand is odds on to experience at least 2 more bouts of unpleasant torrential periods of prolonged rainfall. Lots of flooding over the next 10 days or so is very likely....and there's still quite a while until things should start to calm down. This can all change of course.
Great detail, StrontiumDog. Keep us up to date if you find anything interesting.
Latest is Ketsana is now a typhoon and just off the Vietnam coast. Will achieve cat 2 before landfall I think.
The projected track is the same. Isaan should experience a remnant low/tropical depression. It wont be as windy, but such events can still produce a lot of rain. On a positive note, as an eye wall has formed, some of the intense far reaching cloud mass has lessened.
Tropical depression 18 looks like it will hit the Philippines as a typhoon. The newly formed tropical depression 19 looks to be tracking north at the moment, avoiding land. This could of course change, they are near each other and may interact to a degree.
It sure doesn't look like it from the sat pic.Quote:

Hmm, that fukker is getting closer, it is quite windy at Samui right now.
It's rather cool and a little windy in Bangkok. I think Samui will get more rain than here, a large band of clouds headed into the gulf earlier. Looks like Isaan got a fair bit of rain though.
Ketsana has all but dissipated, the JTWC has issued its final warning.
Going to be cloudy and wet tomorrow, but the worst has passed.
Well, looks like its faded away; it's lost its form anyways.
Yeah, just cloud here. No idea how things went in the north/north-east, but no rain here.
Steady rain here in Roiet for the last 12 hours. Not much wind. Rain is steady but not super heavy yet. Expect heavier rain in late afternoon and this evening if the Typhoon continues on it's current path.Quote:

^Seems so. Looks like center will be in Isaan.

Sweet! I hope so. I've not sorted out my drain problem yet.

normally after they calm down to a tropical rain depression they dump a shitload over a wide area.
is the rain coming to BKK ?
the dark clouds were rolling in as it was getting dark and now the rain is beginning in PAK Kret - I wonder if we are in for 12 hours of it
Rain in Bangkok, not a lot, but steady.
The circulation centre of the now dissipated typhoon emerged into the gulf of Thailand this evening. It is still rotating but disorganised. Unlikely to regain strength but you never know. It seems Vietnam took the brunt, but it rapidly lost strength. By the time Isaan got it, the high clouds had gone and it doesn't appear to have been as bad as some suggested.
Update, in BKK it has been raining non-stop for around 6 hours. Prettily heavily at times too. Not heavy enough for floods here, but maybe elsewhere.
Another one heading to Jesusland.
:raincloud:Thanks for the sat link. We've been getting an unusually heavy rainfall in Ranong.:umbrella:Quote:

Super Typhoon Melor has been the strongest storm anywhere in the world this year, but it's now weakening and wont hit land.
Parma, which hit the north of Luzon, is still hanging around there, in a weak steering environment, but it is quite a weak tropical storm now.
Nothing else about yet..
the main sat pic on the first page isn't coming in well at the moment. There is another small twister storm developing just off the Philippines.

The weather here ( Macau) has been particularly eerie today.
Touching the northern Philippines now it seems.
The JTWC is tracking it to hit strengthen again in the south China sea and maybe hit Vietnam, but they keep getting it wrong lately...
Another one. Mirinae heads west right through the Philippines.
https://teakdoor.com/images/smilies1/You_Rock_Emoticon.gif
Asia keeps getting wacked but on the other side of the world there has been nothing in the Caribbean this year.
Mirinae seems to be losing strength recently, much of the deep convection has diminished. Still it is on course to make landfall in Vietnam and bring, at the very least, clouds and some rain to Isaan and maybe even Bangkok. The seas have cooled considerably though and it's quite possible it will fizzle out!
The deep convection has reappeared and some! JTWC has upgraded the typhoon...looks like it might be a bit of a nightmare...
Not Asia but one in latin America may go up to the states...

Yeah, formed quickly too! No idea if it will survive land interaction though and the sea temperatures aren't very high....
Trang (south west Thailand) not Nha Trang....for all you good ol' boys!!! has been taking a battering the last few days then again we're right in the middle of alot of that.. The wind wasn't too bad but the gusts themselves and the rain were heavy..MAN..
Looks like Guam is gonna take a beating from those sat' photo's...nasty stuff this weather... Global warming or just run of the mill??? septics? oh sorry sceptics? :mid::rofl: sorry only kidding guys.
