webfact Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Danger from tropical storms warnedBANGKOK: -- The Meteorological Department today warned of tropical rainstorms in several parts of the country and hail storms in some areas this week.The warning came as high pressure system from Mainland China has moved in to Southern China and upper region of Vietnam and is expected to blanket the upper region of Thailand and South China Sea during April 7-10.Meanwhile low pressure system is also covering the upper region of Thailand, resulting in hot temperatures in the North, Northeast, East, and the Central Region.The combination of hot weather and cold spell from China will result in tropical storms and torrential rains in the North, Northeast, East and Central Region during April 7-10, and hailstorms in some areas.It advised people in the affected areas to keep off tall trees, tall and unstable billboards and structures for safety as torrential rainstorms are expected.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/danger-from-tropical-storms-warned -- Thai PBS 2015-04-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indothai Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I don't understand why we need to know the barometric pressure in India, Indonesia, Borneo, and China. Why can't we get better resolution for just Thailand. This barometric reading is so 30 years old.... my digital thermometer at home gives me more useful information. And it's telling me no rain in Bangkok in the forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 breaking news... 430 am - clouds outside, chance of rain...there is a chance. However as Murphy would have it, I suspect it will only rain at 8am (20% chance) and 6pm (80% chance) during rush hour....if it does rain at all.

Deya Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Bangkok is big - I see from the 26 th floor of a hotel how it rains over there, but here is calm and dry. An hour ago a dark cloud passed us quickly, a fast wind moved him over and the sky is calm again. In Phuket there was no rain for months......
