The Meteorological Department today warns that Thailand continues to experience thunderstorms and heavy rains in the upper northern, eastern, and southern regions.

 

A vortex advances into the Gulf inducing the southwest monsoon to prevail over the Andaman Sea, the southern portion, and the Gulf of Thailand, causing ongoing heavy rain in the upper northern, eastern, and southern regions of Thailand.

 

Starting from 6am today, for the next 24 hours, an upper northern region, 60% of the area will experience thunderstorms and a few areas will have heavy rainfall. Provinces affected are Mae Hong Son, Chiang Rai, Phayao, Nan, Uttaradit, Tak, Phitsanulok, and Phetchaboon with the highest temperature poised to hit a high of 37 degrees Celsius. Moving to the northeastern region, 40% of the area will also observe these weather conditions primarily in Loei, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Udon Thani, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Chaiyaphum, Khon Kaen, and Nakhon Ratchasima.

There was once a study...no in Thailand, that if you use todays weather as forecast for tomorrow it will be more accurate than what the experts with the expensive computers do.

Would also work in Thailand....only at the season change you are wrong but that you are always right,,,,

Here we go again. ????

But they missed the part about the height of the waves in the Andaman Sea ! I really look forward to that always ????

Looks like no electricity again.

Always bracing, but never raining.

 

Time to leave the monsoon behind for another year ????

Pattaya is the place to be no rain.

I've been braced since October and now want to claim compensation for the dip in my sofa ????

Been bracing all month. Nary a cloud in the sky. 

Meanwhile in Pattaya I choose my new car dependent on the flood water clearance.
