Tropical storm Kajiki to miss Thailand, but rain will be heavy, especially in NE

 

 

Thailand will be spared a direct hit by Kajiki, the depression which has been moving west across the South China Sea toward Vietnam, but its impacts will be felt with heavy rain in several northeastern, eastern and southern provinces on Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

Meteorological Department director-general Phuwiang Prakhammin said today (Monday) that the depression is likely to gain strength and become a tropical storm. As the storm headed toward the Vietnamese coast, he said that there was a possibility that it might alter direction northward toward the southern Chinese province of Canton and miss Thailand.

 

Although Thailand is likely to be spared the direct effects of the storm, the four northeastern provinces of Nakhon Phanom, Sakhon Nakhon, Roi Et and Khon Kaen, which are still reeling from flooding caused by depression Podul last week, will be battered with more rain, resulting in a second wave of flooding, said Mr. Phuwiang.

I doubt his "wand" will remain in one position for more than a few seconds whilst photos are being taken....????

Is this a case of him not knowing his a++e from his elbow.

Looks like he knows what a cloud looks like for accurate reassurance ????

Is that a tech screen he has or just a printed canvas like immigration... he'll get another one for tomorrow.

I always thought that tropical storms were named alphabetically in sequence... isn't K a long ways before P?
