Summer storms, thunderstorms, hail – weather warnings
The Thailand Meteorological Department is predicting summer storms for vast areas of upper Thailand, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds. Hail is possible in some areas of the North, the Northeast, the East, and the Central regions.
Whilst any meaningful wet season rain is yet to transpire in much of the country, the summer storm systems usually bring sudden, and sometimes, torrential rain. They can also appear out of nowhere and build quite quickly.
“A high-pressure system from China will extend to northern Thailand and the South China Sea while southerly and the southeasterly winds blow over the upper country where hot to very hot conditions continue.”
People in upper Thailand have been urged to take precautions in the severe weather conditions by avoiding outdoor places, large trees and unsecured buildings. Farmers should prepare for damage to crops.
