Popular Post webfact Posted June 14 Popular Post Share Posted June 14 The Thai government issued a warning for heavy rain and potential flash floods from June 15 to June 19, due to monsoons and increased weather activity. The Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand are expected to experience high waves, urging fishermen to avoid navigating stormy areas. Deputy Spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, Karom Polpornklang, alerted the public to the dangers associated with the upcoming weather conditions. A monsoon trough is forecasted to pass over the upper northern and northeastern regions of Thailand, extending into a low-pressure area in northern Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin. Combined with a moderate southwest monsoon covering the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, the country’s rainfall is expected to increase significantly. Heavy rainfall is anticipated in certain areas, particularly in the eastern region. The upper Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand are expected to experience moderate wind and waves, with the upper Andaman Sea seeing waves up to two metres high. The Gulf of Thailand and the lower Andaman Sea will have waves between one to two metres. In areas with thunderstorms, waves could exceed 2 metres. Fishermen in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea have been urged to navigate carefully, especially avoiding regions with thunderstorms. Residents in these areas should remain vigilant for heavy rainfall and accumulated precipitation, which could lead to sudden flooding, flash floods and landslides. People living near hill slopes, watercourses, and low-lying areas in the northern and eastern regions are advised to be particularly cautious. Increased caution is also recommended for those travelling through stormy areas. The government’s warning serves as a crucial reminder for both residents and fishermen to prepare and exercise caution during this period of severe weather. By staying informed and taking appropriate precautions, the potential risks associated with these weather conditions can be mitigated, reported KhaoSod. by Ryan Turner Image: Freepik Source: The Thaiger 2024-06-14 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What northeast? ? Again completely different from what worldwide forecast centers show for us. Even the usually bad forecasters show a max of 10 mm? Wait and see.

spidermike007 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Outstanding news, the vast majority of us would welcome heavy rain and the cooler weather that comes with that refreshing rainfall. So there will be a little bit of flooding, that's life, it happens every year. Bring on the glorious rain, please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami007 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 4 hours ago, KhunBENQ said: Is it common practice here or in your country that the "government" distributes weather warnings? Yes - we just had 25 cm of rain (10 inches) on Wednesday in parts of Miami. City and County government are issuing warnings. You would see State Governors on TV warning residents of approaching hurricanes or snowstorms - happens every year. national weather forecasting agencies in many countries are government funded. Their warnings are "government" communication. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck2 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 5 hours ago, Ombra said: The weather radar (rainviewer.com) suggests that the country will be pretty dry for the next day or so. That's nonsense. Already since some hours we have at least thin rain here in the valley of Pang Mapha, Mae Hong Son Province. The same as within the last 2 weeks! The Google weather forecast has predicted this for today, the last 2 weeks and the coming week. It's not strong rain, but at least "5 drops". My word for thin, but not a strong rain. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=weather+soppong+thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusNo8 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 This will be great news for all the noob TikTok tourists "living in Thailand". They've no knowledge or deep understanding to impart and therefore fall back on 711 junk food and idiotic banal cultural comments. Add weather!! It's mid June and only a few evenings of big rains behind is - not even close to a monsoonal drenching, yet according to TikTok hivemind drama queens we've entered monsoon season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
