Weatherman warns of heavy and very heavy rains in 10 southern provinces

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The Meteorological Department on Friday warned residents in Petchaburi, Prachuab Khiri Khan, Chumporn, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Ranong, Phang-nga, Phuket and Krabi to brace for “heavy” and “very heavy” rains Friday and Saturday.

 

It said that the downpour which was caused by the strong northeastern monsoon over the southern region and the Gulf compounded by strong low pressure area in the Andaman Sea which is moving toward Myanmar could trigger flash floods.

 

However, it said that rains would weaken starting on Sunday, but asked residents in the 10 southern provinces to keep themselves abreast with weather updates.

And dead moor bike riders. In Hua Hin, it hasn't rained heavily, but sprinkled during the daytime leaving the roads very slick, while not creating the  look of rain. Overtaken by so many speeding twits on bikes, and of course not wearing helmets. 

8 deaths so far.

 

And it Europe it's -20 - 34 degree Celsius.

at 05:30  this morning in Hua Hin we started with some very heavy rain at my location.

 

sat loops shows very large storm heading north due south of Hua Hin about 200-300 kilometers.
