NongKhaiKid Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Wrong terminology used. The warning is about Summer Thunderstorms. Tropical Storms are rotating storms generated over water.

Suradit69 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Weather.com reports thunderstorms tomorrow in Sakon Nakhon. 41c yesterday and today. Looks like we're gearing up for a decent storm in Pattaya Wednesday morning. Not sure what the wind speed is, but it's definitely more than a strong sea breeze. Wrong terminology used. The warning is about Summer Thunderstorms. Tropical Storms are rotating storms generated over water. Maybe a translation problem. Presumably the report would be issued in Thai. Maybe just saying พายุ paa-yu, and whoever translates goes for "tropical storm." Edited April 22, 2015 by Suradit69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerangutang Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 A bit of rain and wind last night here in Chiang Rai. Nothing much thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilsonandson Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Yesterday the temperature at don mueang airport weather station was 41.4 Celsius. Very hot, I live not far from there and at 9:30pm last night we had a powercut. Everyone left their houses and sat outside on the street. Thankfully the power was back on after just 20 minutes.

Had the spell of very high temperatures continued we might have gotten a few more of those 'power losses'. Looking at the weather forecast (for Bangkok) we seem saved by the bell. 31-33C daytime with light rain to rain showers the next five days. Will clear the dust a bit. Of course instead of complaining about temperature people might start complaining about a bit of flooding and truly amazing traffic jams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you actually read any news items translated from Thai to English. Translations are all over the place ... and I know of several Thais who use พายุ for virtually anything from heavy rain to destructive winds. พายุ paa-yú n. storm (weather) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
