Thailand’s Meteorological Department today (Friday) advised people in 55 northern, north-eastern, central and eastern provinces to brace for strong winds and hail from summer storms, expected today through Sunday.

 

According to the forecast, the storms are likely due to the convergence of southerly and south-easterly winds, driven by the cold front over Vietnam, the Lao PDR and the South China Sea and the increasingly warm weather over northern Thailand.

We just missed out had a bit of a sprinkle on the edge of it.

We got nothing west of Udon, don't really need rain after the drenching we got from the storm last week, but it would be nice ????

Cool things down after the last 3 or 4 days have been in the 40°c range! ????

Hey these are pretty smart storms.  They can drop rain on Ayut then travel to Bangkok but not touch pathum Thani LOL

 

Meanwhile in Hua Hin.........................

until it knocks the electric off for several hours

No sign of anything in Chiang Mai,really need a good steady downpour to clear some of the <deleted> away.

TMD.GO.TH  Accuweather etc not holding out much hope. Smoggy sunshine and 40C!

Great! We can use some water!

Weather forecasters are like politicians all talk and no truth. Nothing in Bangkok, and today is a nice and sunny day without clouds anywhere.....now give me that Monsoon we need

A nice storm just outside Ban Dung last night. Not too much wind but a reasonable amount of rain.

We had one 10 days ago that damaged the roof and brought a ceiling down. Still trying to fix some of the electrics. Having to completely redecorate one room. I think I prefer the weather where I come from - boring but non-violent.

When is Chiang Rai getting some?

Rain is badly needed in Chiang Mai to help alleviate the poisonous air we have to breathe on a daily basis.

Plague and flood, whats next... ohh yes famine!

They're not forecast for Chiang Mai at all - I don't know where Thaivisa/The Nation sources its news but the TMD doesn't have Chiang Mai on its storm warning list. 

Not a cloud in the sky here in Pattaya, apart from the omnipresent Covid-cloud, that is.

It did last night around 9pm, out here in rural Khampaeng Phet. First we had about 10 minutes of high winds, followed by thunder and heavy rain for about 10 minutes  and then it went away.

 

Oddly enough the weather centre in KPP showed no rain in the 24 hours ending at 7am this morning.

True, at least they are more honest than politicians, they give you a percentage to work with - 30% chance of rain, or 70% chance of no rain, take the information and work it however you wish?

Politicians just outright Lie! 

BBC Weather and AccuWeather apps show naff all for Phitsanulok, just wall to wall sunshine for the whole of next week.

Then you will get a downpour of sulphuric acid or some other nasty.    lol

0 for 2 so far in BKK. Clear skies both days. Who makes these predictions?
