Popular Post webfact Posted September 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2023 The Thai Meteorological Department has issued a warning for severe thunderstorms across 41 provinces today. Northern and northeastern regions are expected to be the hardest hit, with 80% of these areas expected to experience heavy rainfall. This downpour may lead to sudden flooding, posing danger to residents, particularly those residing in mountainous areas, near water flow paths and in low-lying areas. The capital city of Bangkok is also not spared. This weather condition is due to a moderate monsoon trough passing over the northern region and upper Laos, entering a trough of low atmospheric pressure over upper Vietnam. Concurrently, a moderate southwest monsoon is prevailing over the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. Such conditions continue to cause thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in some areas. The Meteorological Department advises residents in the affected areas to be wary of dangers from heavy rain and accumulated rainfall that may cause sudden flooding and forest runoff. Especially for areas on the slopes near the water flow and low-lying areas, they should also be cautious when travelling through areas with thunderstorms during this period. For those in the Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf of Thailand, wave heights are expected to reach 1-2 metres and over 2 metres in thunderstorm areas. Boat operators in these areas are urged to navigate with caution and avoid areas with thunderstorms. The weather forecast for Thailand from 6am today to 6am tomorrow reveals that the northern region will experience thunderstorms in 80% of the area, with heavy rain in some places in Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Lampang, Tak, Kamphaeng Phet, Sukhothai, Phichit, Nan, Uttaradit, Phitsanulok, and Phetchabun provinces. The lowest temperature is 23-25 degrees Celsius, the highest is 31-34 degrees Celsius, and the wind speed varies between 10-20 kilometres per hour. by Nattapong Westwood Photo by NOAA on Unsplash -- The Thaiger 2023-09-12 - 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 lopburi3 Posted September 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2023 This is really getting a bit too repetitive IMHO. Guess if repeated every day they will get it right at some point. Severe - Floods - Threaten 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
