Expect Highs of 40 Degrees Celsius in March says Meteorological Centre

by CityNews

 

 

CityNews – The Northern Meteorological Center is warning citizens that the weather will be extra hot and humid throughout March with highs possibly reaching 40 degrees Celsius.

 

Meteorologist specialist Mr. Worapot Kunawiwattanangkul revealed that the weather expected over the next few weeks is a sure sign that summer has arrived. In the first half of the month, the northern and north-eastern part of Thailand will still be covered with high pressure from China making the weather cool in the morning, however it will be hot and humid in the afternoon and hazy in most areas.

 

In the second half of March, it is revealed that there will be low pressure due to the heat spreading in the northern part of Thailand. There will also be the southern wind or south-eastern wind especially in the northern and north-eastern regions which will cause a rise of temperature, reaching a maximum of 39-40 degrees Celsius.

Only 2 weeks late with the forecast then!!!!! 

And in other news, rain will be wet.

Here in Bangkok  March has been very cool far more so than Feb. Barely used the a/c. 40 degrees coming soon?  Thats a big call,  i hope theyre wrong.

Same as last year, move along old news. Rain is wet, Sun is hot. 

Such an amazing prediction -who would have guessed it would be hot in March! :)

Are there actually any real meteorologists in this country?

No,  The Bureau of Meteorology was  destroyed by unforeseen floods in 2011 and all 3 meteorologists were sent to inactive posts on Thai-Myanamar border.

I may have picked a good year to move to the Southern Philippines.

Of course there are! (And if they do a bad job, they double as lunch.)
