Thailand Braces for Increased Rainfall as Typhoon Mawar Approaches

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Thai Meteorological Department has forecast more rain in Thailand at the end of this month as a result of Typhoon Mawar’s indirect influence in the region.

 

The department reported that Mawar, which evolved from a tropical storm into a typhoon, is currently in the Pacific Ocean and is forecast to move northwest rather than towards the South China Sea. Two weather agencies, which are the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and Japan Meteorological Agency, warned that Mawar could intensify into a "super typhoon" by Friday as a result of the rise in the sea surface temperature of the Pacific Ocean. Residents in many provinces are advised to beware of heavy rain during the end of this month.

 

Meanwhile, the National Disaster Warning Council Foundation has asked citizens to build pools or weirs to retain rainwater as a safeguard against the effects of El Nino, which will likely impact Thailand in August. The Foundation warned that due to El Nino, Thailand might not receive much rain in August, and urged farmers to keep a close watch on weather forecasts in the upcoming months.

Agreed - as lots of farang on my estate are beginning to look like Nigerians due to afternoon swims to relieve the humidity.

Cheaper than putting the AC on! 

Although it is beginning to feel like swimming in warm soup.

A fleet of sand trucks is on stand-by in Pattaya.  Bali is poised to officially thank Pattaya's mayor for his brother-in-law's regular contributions to Bali beaches.

According to the Hong Kong BOM#, MAWAR is tracking east of the Philippines before bending NE towards Taiwan  

Doubt that Thailand will get much rain from it. !!

 

#their tracking and forecasting of typhoons is excellent......20 years living/working in HK has taught me.

No. The predicted track after Luzon was north east brushing past Taiwan and,  more correctly, towards Japan and the island string SW of Japan
