Thai weather department says storms are on their way

The Meteorological Department of Thailand yesterday issued an adverse weather warning for the upper regions of the nation. A bulletin released by the department noted that extremely high temperatures from Bangkok upwards were the precursors for rain, hail and wind storms.

The warning advised people to stay away from wide open spaces during the storms expected over the next three days. It also said sheltering under trees or large advertising billboards was a no-no too because gale force winds might blow them down.  

The Meteorological Department explained that storms would not hit all areas of the upper half of the country, but there was a 60 per cent likelihood they would. The region is also likely to be cloudy over the next few days, although with long sunny spells.

12GO ASIA says storms during March, April and May are common in Thailand and Southeast Asia, yet rarely last long. The team reiterated the Meteorological Department’s advice and added that if it was starting to get cloudy and travellers had to catch buses, trains or flights they should allow that little extra time to reach their departure station.
