Hot in the north, wet in the south, cyclone in the Bay of Bengal

Hot conditions, along with thunderstorms and gusty winds, are the feature of weather in the north east and eastern regions over the next few days. There will also be some additional wet weather for southern provinces on the west coast, due to the extensive storm system, which has now been named Cyclone Amphan, in the north part of the Bay of Bengal.
The cyclone is growing to an equivalent Category 4 hurricane. Amphan will impact the India-Bangladesh coastal areas by Wednesday local time with potentially catastrophic impacts.
Meanwhile, temperatures are expected to get back into the low 40s again in the north and northwestern provinces of Thailand.
The Thai Meteorological Department forecasts that thunderstorms and wind will whip up 2 metre waves in the Andaman Sea and is advising that small boats “must not venture out while bigger vessels should “proceed with caution”.
