Heavy rains expected as Tropical Storm ‘Mun’ moves northwest

By The Nation

 

 

The Meteorological Department on Thursday warned residents of several provinces to brace themselves for heavy rains to be unleashed by the influence of tropical storm Mun that was due to make landfall in Vietnam Thursday morning.

 

In a special warning issued at 5am Thursday, the department said the storm was over the Gulf of Tonkin at 4am and making landfall in upper Vietnam, 65 km southeast of Hanoi, at a latitude 20.7 degree north and longitude 106.4 degree east with maximum sustained winds about 65 km/hr.

 

The storm is moving northwest at a speed 15 km/hr and is expected to be downgraded to a tropical depression and low pressure cell shortly after it makes landfalll.

 

The department said the influence of the storm is expected to result in torrential rains with strong winds over Thailand, especially in the North, the Northeast, the Central and the East regions as follows

Good representation. It shows why it is over for our place.

Overcast but dry.

Why? just look at the radar feeds on their website, all they can do is "forecast" what the weather "may" do - its not an exact science, off course - they have to give worse case scenario, dry here in the North East so far!

Just some overnight drizzle and a bit of a breeze and cloudy in Udon on Thursday, and Friday a typical sunny morning and cloudy afternoon. What storm?
