Tropical storms, hail to affect Thailand this week

BANGKOK, 6 April 2015 (NNT) – The Meteorological Department has forecast higher temperatures in the upper part of Thailand and hot to very hot weather across the country this week.

From 7-11 April, a high pressure system from China will move to the upper part of the country and the South China Sea, resulting in tropical storms in the northern, northeastern, central and eastern regions. Thunderstorms, gusts and hail storms are expected in some areas.

The department warned people to take care of themselves following hot to very hot weather and avoid staying outside for a long time. It added that tropical storm Maysak near the northern Philippines would dissipate on 7 April off southern coast of China. The storm would have no impact on Thailand.

Yes please please give us some rain!!

bring it on! I got hundreds of trees that would be most appreciative.

It will help re-clean the air, following the rain 10-15 days ago, Chiang Mai has been getting smoggy again in-the-meanwhile !

Love it. Glad I do not own a car. Last hailstorm in 2545, had 200 small dents in my pickup truck, did not break paint, pissed me off good.

I would love to spend songkran in the rain.

Chiang Mai needs rain. past 2 weeks there has been very heavy rain, thunder, and lightning 4 times in Hang Dong, by big Buddha,(18 km from Canal Road and Huay Kaew Road) on Canal Road. Rained nit noi for 10 minutes in Chiang Mai in same 2 weeks. Gets any drier in Chiang Mai, there will be wild fires starting everywhere. Buddha, we need rain.

Yes....I went out for the lunar eclipse on the 4th, but the moon never came back.

Seems like between that, and the 7 Eleven 90 day reporting (the forum's april fool's joke), that I have be doing a lot of standing around and waiting.

I checked out the temp where i live yesterday 39.5 on the Thai met site,40c predicted today,i am in a beach front bungalow on Koh chang,about 30c at present with a nice sea breeze,think i did the right thing coming here,have decided from now on March,april ,may,i will spend on the beach somewhere,and not endure those hellish temps.

I'm trying to follow the OP article... and admittedly never earned my degree in meteorology.

But wouldn't having "hot to very hot weather across the country this week" be kind of inconsistent with also predicting thunderstorms and in particular HAIL, given that hail is ice???

Someone is not reading the story, "Hail to affect Thailand this weekend"

Yet the last line reads, "tropical storm from China not to affect Thailand " So make up your mind. Is there or isn't there going to be a weather pattern thats going to effect the northern part of Thailand this weekend? I'm getting tired of reading these

conflicting reports. They kind of match the conflicting reports of the Government in action!

There is nothing conflicting about it at all.

There is a cell which is going to affect Thailand this week.

The cyclone currently off the Philippines will dissipate before reaching the coast, and will have no affect on Thailand.

I would love to spend songkran in the rain.

but not the hail....

I would love to spend songkran in the rain.

I've never seen rain over songkran (9 years here so far), but have often wondered if they'd run for cover and the streets empty.

It really poured down late one afternoon during songkran in 2013.

As I was halfway back to the car, watching people running from the rain, it seemed a bit odd as we'd been pouring water over each other all day.

Bring it on!!!

That's because the rainwater wasn't that greeny-brown gunk many seem to love playing with...

After the hail storm we had on Monday night of LAST week ( the 30th of March ) in Prakhon Chai, we've got NO trees left. It's like someone's gone over the land with a chain saw or similar. 15 houses in the village flattened too so don't be too eager.....

Here is your rain !

Just woke up to a good soaking in San Sai, Chiang Mai. More on the way.

Happy Advanced Songkran !!!!!!!!!!!!!
