Severe Weather on the Horizon

The advisory cautions residents to prepare for thunderstorms, strong gusty winds, and the possibility of hail. Heavy rain and lightning are as well possible in some areas. This follows a period of hot to highly hot weather in upper Thailand.

Impact on Daily Life

The storms are a result of a high-pressure system or cold air mass moving down from China. Here’s combining with prevailing westerly winds and hot weather conditions across upper Thailand. Mariners in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea should navigate with caution, as seas in the lower Gulf will be moderate, with waves potentially rising over 2 metres during thunderstorms.

Residents are advised to avoid open spaces, large trees, and unstable structures like billboards. Farmers are encouraged to reinforce fruit trees and protect livestock. The public can access updates from the Meteorological Department at http://www.tmd.go.th or by calling 0-2399-4012-13 and 1182.
