No radar coverage on lower east side of Gulf of Thailand
-
No radar coverage on Lower East Side of Gulf of Thailand, Koh Chang Archipelago and Thai - Cambodian the border. Since more than a week.
We rely on it for our fruit orchards!

@Zwanske We are sorry about this, however, we cannot do much about it, because we take these data from third party provider and they don't have these data.

@Ondřej-Šutera
Did Windy change the service provider lately … in the past not such an issue and coverage. -
@Zwanske There haven't been any changes for this location in the last year.
-
@Zwanske Has been good since 10AM GMT+8.
This area is covered under the Sattahip radar. See https://weather.tmd.go.th/sattahip.php at the Thai Meteorological Dept website (time shown seems to be in UTC).
Windy showed 'No Data' up to 9:43AM GMT+8. @Filip-K might know whether it was an outage at the Thai Met Sattahip webpage or something else downstream.
Went back live ever since:
-
@hangInThere Thank you very!
-
@Zwanske No sweat. I suggest you monitor that TMD webpage daily and once it goes down immediately shoot an email to TMD's feedback and request reply since you paid all sorts of tax to the national tax collector. This is a way to prod them to do better job at keeping their site up.
Just out of curiosity, why do you need weather radar map for your orchard tending?
-
@hangInThere I will keep an eye on it and check the TMD site when necessary. Water supply when needed, having 3 durian orchards on different locations ... sometimes it rains at one and not at the 2 other etc.
-
@Zwanske Sattahip is down again since late afternoon.
-
@hangInThere, thanks for info.

Well, the Sattahip radar Loop of the Thai Meteorological Department was long time visible with a 200km radius. Since about 2 weeks approximative it ha been reduced to 100km radius.
The answer of we do not have so we can not provide is a too simple answer to waive a paying customer off!
-
@Zwanske Can you share the radar source? We take these data from anyone else and they have, now major issues, with providing these data. If you share your source of data, we can consider adding them if it is possible, because sometimes it isn't and that can be the reason why we have to try to take these data anywhere else.

@Ondřej-Šutera Hi, thanks for your reply.
The url of the Thai Meteorological Department i.e. Sattahip rain radar loop is: https://weather.tmd.go.th/satLoop.php
Hope you can integrate it to fill in a blind spot on the map. -
@Zwanske I already forwarded this source to colleague and he promised to look into it. However, I cannot promise that this will be handled in coming days. We will keep you posted.

@Ondřej-Šutera Thanks for the attention and picking up the issue. Checking the Windy site, I remarked that the radius of the Sattahip radar loop has been extended to the 250 km range as before, thanks.
