24-hour Thailand weather shift: Heavy downpours to cover 40% of Bangkok

[webfact]

 

The Meteorological Department has forecasted a 24-hour Thailand weather shift starting today morning, caused by a storm passing over Northern and Northeast Thailand.

 

The low-pressure trough pushing in from Northern Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin, along with the continual southwest monsoon, have increased rainfall across Northern, Northeastern, and Eastern Thailand, with some areas experiencing heavy downpours. Central and Southern Thailand are also expected to see some showers and thunderstorms.

 

Waves in the Andaman Sea are predicted to reach approximately one metre in height. However, in areas with storms and thunder, wave heights could increase to two metres. Fishermen are advised to navigate with caution and to avoid sailing in affected regions.

 

The weather forecast for Thailand for the 24 hour period starting at 6am today until 6am tomorrow reveals varied conditions across the regions:

Northern region

40% of the territories are experiencing thunderstorms, with some areas being hit by heavy rain. These provinces include Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phayao, Phrae, Nan, Uttaradit and Tak. The lowest temperature will likely be between 24-27°C while the highest will range from 34-37°C.

Yep. Maybe the 40% stated should be 40% chance of occuring. Over the last couple of months of these forecasts maybe 4% is more like it. The build up to the wet season continues. Same every year. When it actually beaks is another thing but I'm guessing late July to mid August.

It's still not the wet season. When it starts it will basically piss down everyday around the same time. Not there yet. The build up continues.
