Scattered summer storms, gusty winds and hail are predicted for Bangkok and the provinces of north, northeast, east and central plains today and tomorrow. A moderate high-pressure system is expected to cover northeastern Thailand and the South China Sea during the two-day period, the local weather office announced.

 

The upper regions are predicted to experience hot to extremely hot weather, with strong southerly and southeasterly winds executing humidity from the Gulf and the South China Sea, according to the Meteorological Department. Given these circumstances, several provinces in the north, northeast, east and central plains, including Bangkok and its surrounding areas, could encounter scattered summer storms that could bring powerful winds, isolated hail and lightning strikes today and tomorrow.

 

Today, the forecast for affected areas includes 11 provinces in the north – Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Lampang, Nan, Phrae, Uttaradit, Tak, Kamphaeng Phet, Phitsanulok and Phetchabun; 15 provinces in the Northeast – Loei, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Chaiyaphum, Khon Kaen, Mukdahan, Yasothon, Amnat Charoen, Nakhon Ratchasima, Buri Ram, Surin, Si Sa Ket and Ubon Ratchathani; six provinces in the Central Plains – Nakhon Sawan, Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi, Uthai Thani, Lop Buri and Saraburi; and all eight eastern provinces.

Interesting. Seems like Kalasin will miss out. Not sure why though? Also they say 15 provinces but mention 16. Just brilliant.

It's often localised, depends where the dark cloud is

Yesterday the weather app said 100% chance of rain where I live in Ratchaburi.  Not a drop.  

Blew one of my trees over, and I had to get a sunscreen down before it ended up in Cambodia with part of the eaves. . Lost power for about 25 minutes...
