snoop1130 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The Meteorological Department of Thailand (TMD) issued a severe weather warning due to a powerful cold front and strong northeastern monsoons affecting various regions of the country. The warning, specifically targeting the upper part of Thailand and the lower Gulf of Thailand, indicates that the nation is experiencing unusually volatile weather patterns, leading to cooler to cold temperatures in the north and northeastern parts, and heavy monsoonal impacts in the southern region. The high-pressure system from China, which is now covering the upper part of Thailand, has caused temperatures to plummet, resulting in cold to chilly weather across the northern and northeastern regions. The central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, is experiencing cooler weather, especially in the mornings. Residents in the upper parts of the country are advised to take care of their health due to the rapid drop in temperatures, reported KhaoSod. In response to the northeastern monsoon that is covering the Gulf of Thailand and the southern part of the country, the TMD reported that the lower Gulf of Thailand is witnessing strong winds with wave heights ranging from 2 to 3 meters. In areas where thunderstorms are prevalent, waves are expected to exceed 3 meters. This has led to a warning for residents along the southern coastal regions on the eastern side to be cautious of the dangerous high waves crashing towards the shore.

Popular Post KhunBENQ Posted February 12 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 Severe? Fierce? Such dramatic words. Today at noon I gave up and switched on AC in the car. Misc weather forecasts for our area show a chilly 16 C (60 F) for tomorrow morning, cool 29 C ( 84 F) at noon and unbelievable wind speeds of 7 kph. Today some leafs have fallen from the trees.

Popular Post mfd101 Posted February 12 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 So why does NONE of any of this show up on Accuweather's forecasts for the next 3 days or on its radar map? If it's as it was a few days ago with much the same warnings from the TMD but nothing to disturb the cool nights and warm-to-hottish days, I think I'll be guided by Accuweather. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it meets in the middle to cover the central regions, afternoon temps are stifling at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipalongcassidy Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 My Thai wife thinks 17c is cold... I think that it comfortable... so her headline would read "Plummeting Temperatures"... while mine would read "Balmy Comfortable Temperatures"... we would both be right of course.

Bangkok Barry Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'm in the NE and my 10-day forecast is for 33-37 degrees. Being a weather forecaster is great - you can say whatever, get it wrong and never get fired as everyone just expects it as normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
