A high-pressure system is presently sweeping across northern and eastern Thailand, resulting in rainfall across the country. Weather warnings have been issued for 38 provinces, with Bangkok experiencing a 30% drop in rainfall.

 

Unpredictable winds and sea waves higher than 2 metres were reported today. The Thai weather forecast predicts that a monsoon trough is approaching the eastern and upper southern regions, leading to a surge in low-pressure areas over the South China Sea.

 

The high-pressure system is still covering the northern and northeastern regions, causing thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in southern areas.


Residents in these areas are urged to exercise caution against heavy to very heavy rain and potential flash floods or runoff, specifically in mountainous areas near water channels and low-lying regions. Also, precautions should be taken against thunderstorms during this period.


In the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, waves are approximately 1 metre high, while areas experiencing thunderstorms may see waves higher than 2 metres. Mariners are advised to navigate with care and avoid areas with thunderstorms.

I was under the impression that it was low-pressure systems which brought rain.

Do the Thai's have an equivalent to "The boy who cried wolf"?

 

We get these "forecasts" of heavy weather daily and it never materialises.

 

One day it will and nobody will be ready.

 

We had a lot of lightning and rain last night here in Hua Hin, so loud that it hurt our ears!

 

Much better today, Monday.

It is when warm air collides with colder air that things go crazy, like it did here in Hua Hin last night.
