webfact Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Thailand told to brace for thunderstorms and HAIL this week File photo Thailand is set to be hit by thunderstorms, strong winds and even hail over the coming days. The country’s Meteorological Department said the storms are forecast from Tuesday to Thursday (5 March). The thunderstorms and strong winds are forecast nationwide, with Northern Thailand and the Northeast, where hail is also forecast, set to experience the brunt of the storms. Property owners have been urged to secure buildings, while farmers have been warned of damage to crops and increased risk of lightning strikes. In the South, from the Gulf of Thailand, isolated thunder showers are forecast, while there is only a small chance of the storms affecting Eastern Thailand, Bangkok and Central regions. The news comes as the Meteorological Department has confirmed that Thailand has now officially entered its summer or hot season. Thailand officially entered summer on 29 February, the Met Dept said over the weekend. Officials said Thailand may experience a sudden increase in temperatures and have forecast highs between 33 and 38 degree Celsius for the remainder of the week. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2020-03-03 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post legend49 Posted March 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2020 Really? https://www.ventusky.com/?p=17.74;106.41;6&l=rain-3h doesn't agree with that statement. Only wet weather is North Vietnam & Laos border and the winds are driving it north into China?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have some basis which is that the sudden chilling effect can initiate infection from the copious levels of bacteria present in the nasal regions. Personally I would prefer to avoid at least the first few rains. In many places with so much pollution airbourne I am sure it is not healthy to the skin. Acid rain?

And it rained properly 12 hours later - a real squall (i saw metal cooking pots fly through the air!) which blew everything away with about 5 cm of rain.

Grasshopper season is pretty well finished. The warmer weather is no good for catching them. Not bad money at 150 baht a kilo. Wife makes a bit of pocket money.

Proably because they have never been caught in a massive shower and had struggle to get to dry, warm clothes while wet and cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
