Thailand Sattahip radar out since 22/04/2025

Zwanske

Hi,
Sattahip rain radar out since 22/04/2025, and it looks that it will not comeback online.

Is there another source to cover the affected region?

Hi @Zwanske, there is, but it is also from TMD and it shows same data:

@Filip_K,

The radar you mention is for a total different part of Thailand …. North TH, Myanmar& Laos.
The Sattahip radar covers the south eastern part near Cambodia.
So your proposition is not applicable to the situation.

Dirk

Hi @Zwanske, You have to change to Sattahip in the upper right corner to see Sattahip data:

@Filip_K, @Zwanske,
Hi,
There's another radar call Pluakdaeng, it's in the same province as Satthahip radar (Rayong province)... https://file.royalrain.go.th/opendata/radar_data/cappi/?station=pluakdaeng
I think the Satthahip radar is no longer in service.

I hope Windy implements this radar data soon!

Cheers,
Travis

Hi @aznareus, thank You for letting me know. I'm unfortunately unable to access the data through the link You provided (connection times out) and can't find it on TMD web either. Does it currently work for You?

@Filip_K I could still access the website maybe you could try again?
this is the list of radars from the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation.
https://www.royalrain.go.th/royalrain/sct_Radar.aspx Pluag-Daeng radar is the last radar on that page (bottom right).
And again, the direct link to that radar data is..

@aznareus trying now, still no luck. Maybe it is not accessible from Europe? Or maybe it is accessible via IPv6 only. What does output from wget look like on Your machine? This is what it looks like on mine:

@Filip_K Yea.. seems that the website is not accessible outside Thailand, I have also checked with my friends.

I am using Windows so that I don't have wget

There is kinda TMD website that uses the same data from Royal Rainmaking radar maybe you could start with this?
