Summer storms are expected in upper Thailand from today until Wednesday, the Meteorological Department warned yesterday.
A moderate high pressure system from China will cover the Northeast of Thailand and the South China Sea over those three days. Hot to very hot weather will cover the upper country with southeasterly winds prevailing over the upper regions, the department said.
Given these conditions, sum- mer storms, thunderstorms, gusty winds, isolated hail and lightning strikes are forecast for the Northeast and the East. Other regions will be affected later.
Meanwhile, the easterly and the southeasterly winds will prevail across the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. More rain is expected in the South and people should beware of the severe conditions. Waves of about one metre high are expected in the Gulf and will reach over two metres high during thundershowers. All boats should proceed with caution, said the department.
