Thailand to face increased rainfall during June 28-30

BANGKOK, 27 June 2014 (NNT) - The Meteorological Department has reported that the southwestern monsoon covering the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand has started to deteriorate during the past few days.

However, from June 28-30, the monsoon is set to regain its strength and a low-pressure cell covering the Gulf of Tonkin has been detected.

Following these phenomena, Thailand is set to face more rains and isolated heavy rains in certain parts of the country. As for areas close to the Andaman Sea, strong waves of up to 2 to 3 meters high are expected. Fishermen are advised to exercise caution before setting sail.

And this is news ?.. Same every year during this period

It is all the fault of US. There will be a protest in BKK over this on Sunday.

Same here in the UK, not unexpected as it is Glastonbury and Wimbledon this weekend.

I love the rainy season...sure beats the hot season we've had for the past few months! Plus, don't have to water the garden as much...

Say what you want. May not be news. But it's handy information to have.

Now, predicting a wet rainy season next year in late June, not so handy.

yes I agree, my wife doesn't have to water the garden either ........

bout time we had some in khon Kaen, dry as a nun knickers.

Translation: it will be nice and sunny this weekend.

To paraphrase Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight....... "What do you expect? It's the rainy season."

High waves are expected in areas "close to the Andaman Sea". How close?

.

Agreed - the afternoon downpour is setting in. I love the dramatic thunderstorms and the lightning here is among the best I've seen.

Well, we all need a bogeyman. I always like to say it is Dick Cheney's fault. He caused this. He is and was responsible for all the worlds problems. Now, it is Obama. He is causing all this! Global warming. Food shortages. Disease. Famine. Pestilence. Crime. Greed. It is all his fault!

Normally, if you picked any major problem today, you'd have a good chance of being right.

Not this time, though.

Guess you've never read a weather report/prediction, then. They have whole news channels dedicated to weather in various parts of the world.

Duh?

Only had a brief shower Friday night. Very disappointing.
