People living in 42 provinces in the northern, north-eastern, central and eastern regions of Thailand, including Bangkok and its suburbs, are advised to brace for summer storms, which will bring heavy rain and hail to some areas from Sunday until next Tuesday.

 

The Meteorological Department said today (Friday) that a moderate cold front is forecast to blanket the northern part of Thailand and the South China Sea and this will collide with the westerly winds over northern region, as the country is experiences hot weather.

Should also include the advisory that rain is wet, and that mud can occur when rain meets dirt, and so individuals need to take care where they step.

Please Sir, can I ask how I 'brace'

Bring it on.

 

Will give a brief respite from the dangerous  air quality.

3 days of 10 bus bowling on the roads then. 

 

 

"It was the rain that caused the 10 car pile-up!"

In Chiang Mai summer storms normally huff and puff and not a drop falls.

Badly needed to blow away this awful smog that is now hospitalizing hundreds, but apparently the governor has it in hand so all should be well! ????

Hail are pellets of frozen rain - shome mishtake surely.

It does actually hail in Thailand.

Bring it on, please. The stench of this air is only matched by the stench of the "do nothing men", who allow it to continue, without putting up so much as a whimper.

I thought they said the other day that they were going to cloud seed to make it rain because of forest fires

In the Pattaya area i don't think it's been particularly hot yet this year, however lets hope for a storm to clear this horrible, lingering air that we have had for a while now

You could always ask an Australian, because their idea of foreplay is, "brace yourself Sheila"...... so they would know!

Hail stones form in the upper atmosphere were the temperature is below freezing point. The 'shome mishtake' is yours for not doing your homework. By the way hailstorms sometimes occur in Saudi Arabia.

And probably cause flooding in Pattaya, especially in areas where much effort and roadworks has been endured to alleviate flooding.

Apologies are due for not being a meteorologist. Also for failing to ensure sufficient investigations are conducted on this obviously academically critiqued discussion board.

Much needed relief from the sticky mid-afternoons.

Bend over froward, head between knees and kiss your A goodbye.

Well, that is greed, short sightedness, avarice, gluttony, and rapacity, but it sure isn't pride, or anything good or noble.

This is Thailand. Are you kidding? Rain is the least of my concerns when I step foot anywhere.

Did anywhere actually get the summer storm? Here in Chiang Mai in my location we had a light drizzle for a short time and Doi Suthep is still missing.

This morning was in Chom Tha almost at the base of Doi Inthanon, the biggest mountain in Thailand was also invisible aqi at 170.

Did you try looking without your sunglasses on or were you either too far away or looking in the wrong direction?

Why do people make it out to be worse than it actually is here in the old city?

Why do people make it out to be (much) better thsn it is?

 

 

So much for the officially proclaimed dry season. 

 

The last couple of decades, one cannot distinguish what it is supposed to do and what it is doing.
