Thai Meteorology warns about bad weather from tomorrow

The TMD are warning residents in the North, Northeast, and Central regions of Thailand, including Bangkok, as well as the East of summer thunderstorms with gusty winds, possible hail and isolated heavy rain tomorrow and Friday.

In yesterday’s weather warning the Thai Meteorological Department says a high-pressure system from China would cover upper Thailand and a westerly trough would prevail over the North. This would lead to summer thunderstorms on Thursday and Friday.

Poor weather could include possible flash floods, warnings to keep away from unsecured buildings and outdoor areas and farmers being aware of possible crop damage.

“From Saturday until Monday, the easterly winds will get stronger with more rain and isolated heavy downpours in Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Ranong, Phangnga, Phuket and Trang.”

“Waves up to three-metre-high waves expected in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, all ships should proceed with caution”, the department said.

For Phuket the weather forecast is fine and hot up to the weekend with only 10 and 20% chances of rain on Thursday and Friday.
