Summer storm warning for upper Thailand from April 17-20
Thailand’s Meteorological Department has issued its seventh warning about a summer storm set to impact upper Thailand from April 17 to 20, bringing thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail to several areas.
The storm will first strike the northeastern and eastern regions before moving to the central region, including Bangkok and surrounding provinces, then the north. A high-pressure system and cold air mass from China spreading over the South China Sea is strengthening southern and southeastern winds over the lower northeast, east, and upper Gulf of Thailand, while upper Thailand is already experiencing very hot conditions.
Residents are urged to avoid open spaces, large trees, unstable structures, and billboards. Farmers are advised to reinforce fruit trees and prepare to protect agricultural produce and livestock, reported KhaoSod.
