webfact Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Tropical storms in North and North East of ThailandBANGKOK, 21 April 2015 (NNT)-The Department of Meteorology has warned people of tropical storms expected to make landfall from now until the end of this week.Meteorological Department Director General Wanchai Sakudomchai said Thailand will experience its hottest temperatures at the beginning of May.Meantime, Northern and North Eastern residents have been warned to prepare for tropical storms and hail today. They are expected to be more aggressive than last week.People living in Sukhothai, Nan, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Udonthani, Loei, Nong Khai and Nakhon Phanom provinces should exercise extra caution on the road.The storms are caused by the arrival of a high pressure system from China. They will move toward the Central Plains of Thailand mid-week. The temperature in the country is likely to climb to 42 degrees Celsius. -- NNT 2015-04-21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperylobster Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Why do they insist on saying these storms are being created by high pressure systems. High pressure is stable air, low pressure is unstable air. Storms are the arrival of low pressure air. Actually, I believe, it is the meeting of the two.....not just one or the other. We are currently covered by a low pressure system and very hot temperatures. Cooler air from a high pressure system is moving in from China. When this pressure system meets with the current low pressure system....bam. Here is a good link that explains it. http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/danger-from-tropical-storms-warned this is a week old...but same applies for this week....same idea....two air masses meet After the storm passes..you will notice a temperature difference...but only for a while Edited April 21, 2015 by slipperylobster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty5x5 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 And if they didn't give a warning and a big storm hit then most of you would be on the otherside of the fence. Better safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjhbigv Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I was in Mae Sai yesterday and was in the biggest and strongest rainstorm I have seen in Thailand and I have been here 7 years. Really unusual and arrived really quickly! Unbelievable wind and rain, was enough to blow over motorbikes and even with truck wipers on full, could still not see to drive! It was also very localised and concentrated and lasted for maybe half hour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerjo Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just had strong winds and 38mm over a 3 hour period,would say we had more as the rain would barely catch the guage with the angle it was coming in at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glegolo Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) hrs 17,33 it is starting now over Chaiyaphum with thunder and a very little rain, But it feels like "foreplay".. I think it will really pour tonight.... and it is hot like hell here... But still better than Sweden, with +5 shitty degrees... I rather sweat than freeze..

Sirbergan Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I can never get my head around 'RealFeel'. Today it says its 35C, but RealFeel is 44C....so its 44 then, not fcking 35. I think you need to read up on how Celsius is measured, then what the "ReelFeel" is about. You might mean that we should abandon °C and °F as temperature measurements altogether, and replace them with °R (ReelFeel) – which in a way would make sense. 35 °C still wouldn't be 44 °R, though.

sean in udon Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Hit Kutchap, Udon Thani good and hard about 17:00. 30/40 minutes of hard rain and strong winds. Roofs damaged or taken off, trees blown over, snapped, etc. And no power (back on at 20:00) No fore play here, straight in with wam bam. Rain just started again (20:45). Don't want those winds again, I can live with the rain. Had a quick drive round about 6pm, locals are clearing up and starting repairs....and smiling. Was surprisingly pleasant to see those smiles. As far as I'm aware, no one hurt locally, thankfully. Edit: Thanks for the link Shiver. Not read Viz in years.

boomerangutang Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'm in Chiang Rai and am ready: the bigger the storm, the better. Just an added note on birthdays: Today is John Muir's birthday, arguably America's greatest environmentalist, and the key player in getting Yosemite declared a National Park - one of the first in the US (after Yellowstone) and he set the tone for establishing national parks worldwide. Yesterday was Adolph Hitler's b'day, and tomorrow in Julius Caeser's. Today is also Queen Elizabeth II's b'day and mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, 'R' does seem like better idea, especially when you see a forecast, and it says 34c, and then it says realfeel 44c (next saturday week in Korat) then i think what the <deleted>? Sort of breaks your spirit to read it. I'm not anywhere near an expert on the weather, so i will stand by your fine judgement.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBOP Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Wrong terminology used. The warning is about Summer Thunderstorms. Tropical Storms are rotating storms generated over water. Edited April 21, 2015 by RBOP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get a storm when you are in a high pressure zone until the low pressure returns. If you are in a low pressure area, storms are possible. Hurricanes are massive low pressure systems. From http://weather.about.com/od/pressureandtemperature/a/high_pressure.htm Cooler air is dense and has more air molecules per unit of volume making it exert more pressure on the surface of Earth. Therefore, the weather in a high pressure zone is generally fair and cool. An approaching high pressure zone doesn’t cause the stormy weather associated with low pressure zones.
