Phuket Rain & Flood Signals

Check rain and water before leaving home

Open source-agency information to check rain, water stations, flood extent and tides for the relevant area and published time.

PLC does not yet show live data on this page. Open the agency sources below to check the latest area and observation time.

Not an emergency warning or dispatch service. PLC does not create flood warnings. For emergencies, follow official warnings and agency response channels.

Check in three steps

Always choose a station or area near you and check when the source last observed or issued the information. Forecasts differ from measured observations.

  1. 1. Check rain near you
  2. 2. Check water levels and tides
  3. 3. Share what you saw

Rain radar / nowcast

Is rain moving toward your area?

What to check: Find your area, then check the image time and movement. A forecast is not a measurement.

Source available — live connection not yet enabled

Thai Meteorological Department

TMD satellite and radar

Live connection not yet enabled — check the area and time at the source

Limitation: Check the issue time and official notice. Radar imagery requires expert interpretation and does not establish street-level flooding.

Thai Meteorological Department

TMD weather map and nowcasting information

Live connection not yet enabled — check the area and time at the source

Limitation: Check issue time, geographic coverage and official warning text at source.

Thai Meteorological Department

TMD data services

Live connection not yet enabled — check the area and time at the source

Limitation: Products, update times and access methods vary. No current reading is inferred from the service listing.

Rainfall stations

What did nearby rain stations measure?

What to check: Choose a station near your area and check its observation time. One station may not represent nearby streets.

Source available — live connection not yet enabled

Hydro-Informatics Institute

ThaiWater Phuket rainfall stations

Live connection not yet enabled — check the area and time at the source

Limitation: A station reading describes its measurement point. Check timestamp, units and missing-data indicators at source.

Water level / runoff

What do nearby water stations show?

What to check: Check the station name, area, observation time and unit before comparing levels.

Source available — live connection not yet enabled

Hydro-Informatics Institute

ThaiWater Phuket water information

Live connection not yet enabled — check the area and time at the source

Limitation: Station coverage and timestamps vary. A station does not describe every road, catchment or neighbourhood.

Flood extent

Has the source observed a flood extent?

What to check: Check the observation date, mapped area and stated coverage. No mapped flood does not mean no flood.

Source available — live connection not yet enabled

Satellite absence does not mean there is no flood.

Read the data limitations

Contextual detection, not a real-time street-level water-depth sensor. Narrow roads, urban geometry, revisit timing and sensor or data limits may prevent detection. It cannot show whether a road is safe or unsafe.

Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency

GISTDA Disaster Platform

Live connection not yet enabled — check the area and time at the source

Limitation: Flood extent is contextual detection, not a real-time street-level water-depth sensor. Narrow roads, urban geometry, revisit timing and sensor or data limits may prevent detection.

Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency

GISTDA Disaster Platform open API information

Live connection not yet enabled — check the area and time at the source

Limitation: Availability, coverage, timing and terms must be validated before any figures or status are displayed.

Tide window

When is the predicted tide higher?

What to check: Check Ko Taphao Noi when listed, plus the date, time, unit and datum. Predicted sea level is not canal or road-water level.

Source available — live connection not yet enabled

Predicted sea level is not canal or road-water level.

Royal Thai Navy Hydrographic Department

Official tide predictions and water-level table

Live connection not yet enabled — check the area and time at the source

Limitation: Predicted tide is not measured street flooding and does not include local drainage or wave effects. Verify station and prediction date.

Community signal

Community waterlogging signals

Share what you observe for human review. This is not an official warning or confirmation that an area is unsafe.

Community waterlogging signal — unverified until reviewed

Before you report

  • Describe what happened, the approximate time and a nearby place.
  • A photo is optional. Do not put names or phone numbers in the public description.
  • Do not enter water or take risks to make a photo.
