The Thai Meteorological Department warns of heavy rainfall today, covering 70-80% of the regions in the North, Northeast, Central, East, and Bangkok areas. An intense monsoon trough is passing over Myanmar and Northern Laos, moving into a low pressure area over Northern Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin. This, combined with a moderate southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, will bring heavy rains in some areas of the Northern, Northeastern, Central, and Eastern regions. Residents are urged to beware of potential dangers from heavy rainfall and accumulated rainfall that could lead to flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in hilly areas near waterways and low-lying areas.

 

In the Northern region, there will be thunderstorms covering 80% of the area, with heavy rainfall in some areas in Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Lampang, Phayao, Nan, Phrae, Uttaradit, Tak, Sukhothai, Phitsanulok, and Phetchabun provinces. The lowest temperature will be 23-25 degrees Celsius and the highest temperature will be 31-33 degrees Celsius. The southwesterly winds will be blowing at a speed of 10-20 kilometres per hour.

 

In the Northeast, thunderstorms will cover 70% of the area, with heavy rainfall in some areas in Loei, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Nong Bua Lamphu, Udon Thani, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Kalasin, Mukdahan, Amnat Charoen, and Ubon Ratchathani provinces. The lowest temperature will be 23-25 degrees Celsius and the highest temperature will be 29-33 degrees Celsius. The southwesterly winds will be blowing at a speed of 10-25 kilometres per hour.

"Stair rods last night in Nakhon Ratchasima. "  Maybe, but nothing but a few drops 50 km north of the town.

Economists and Meteorologists are allowed to get it wrong more than half the time and still keep their jobs.

 

I look out the window and can make a better guess. Objectivism comes in handy every day.
