Its been raining non stop in samui today , and heavy rain as well , many mountain roads turned into rivers !

Hello,

This is poor little me - living in Samui since donkey years.
I check the weather reports on a daily basis and am dismayed
by how inaccurate they are.   Prognosis: invariably rain, rain and
more of the same.

Reality on the ground:  most days NO rain at all and the other
days mild rains for 20-30 minutes, some times more than once
PLUS occasionally  (say 2-3 times a week) a bout of heavy rains
lasting no more than 3-5 minutes.

I live in between Lamai and Hua Thanon.

As I got some lands in the hills (no mountains in Samui) I'm
keenly following the weather as heavy rains erode the dirt
roads (actually tracks) going up into the hills.

Granted:  weather varies greatly east/west  -  north/south
same time/same day.  

I pray for more and so do a great many here.
The ground water table continuously to drops  (since yrs).
Steasdy slow rain would be ideal.
Heavy down pours only create havoc/misery.

Yours truly.
