webfact Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 The Thai Meteorological Department issued a warning for increased thunderstorms, affecting 37 provinces across the country, including Bangkok. Heavy rainfall is expected in several areas, potentially causing sudden flooding and flash floods, particularly in hilly regions and low-lying areas. The warning is a result of the southwest monsoon, intensified over the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, as well as the low-pressure system along the coast of Myanmar and the monsoon trough passing through northeastern Thailand and Laos. This is causing rough sea conditions with wave heights up to three metres in the upper Andaman Sea and over two metres in storm-affected areas. The public living in affected areas is advised to be cautious and prepared for the dangers caused by heavy rainfall and the accumulation of rainwater. Boat operators in the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand are also urged to navigate with caution and avoid areas affected by thunderstorms. by Samantha Rose Picture courtesy of Bangkok Jack Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thunderstorms-hit-thailand-heavy-rainfall-sparks-flash-flood-warnings -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-06-05 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post dinsdale Posted June 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Here we ago again. Don't know about anyone else but basically the same warning for last week and where I am (just sw of BKK) got one storm lasted about an hour. Apart from that not a drop and 40+ everyday with high humiditiy. I guess if they keep up the warnings all the time sooner or later it will be correct. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
