Isolated heavy rains continue in the Northeast, the East and the South regions, the Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Sunday.

 

 

A moderate southwest monsoon prevails over the Andaman Sea and Thailand, while a low pressure cell covers Laos, the department added.

 

The category 5 typhoon, "Maysak", over the western North Pacific, east of the Philippines, is moving to the Korean peninsula and Japan but it would not affect Thailand, the department said.

 

The forecast for different parts of the country:

 

North: Cloudy with isolated thundershowers mostly in Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang, Tak and Kamphaeng Phet provinces; minimum temperature 23-27 degrees Celsius, maximum 34-36°C; southwesterly winds 10-25kph.

Forecast for the week:

 

On August 29, the strengthening southwest monsoon prevails over the Andaman Sea and Thailand. Isolated heavy rains continue in the windward side of the East and the South. From August 30 to September 4, a moderate southwest monsoon will prevail over the Andaman Sea and Thailand. A monsoon trough lies across the North and the Northeast, and more rain is likely over Thailand with isolated heavy rain. The category 4 severe tropical storm, “Maysak”, over the western North Pacific, the east of the Philippines, is expected to intensify gradually, and move to the Korean peninsula and Japan. This storm, however, does not affect Thailand.

Not where I am, we have the hot season with an occasional cloud that has lost its way.

its either trumps fault or climate change,

hopefully water will last in pattaya up to right before songkran,

but trump & cc will predictably mess that up as well

Hot season has returned to Nakhon Sawan. 

Get rain about once a fortnight if lucky.
