Weather forecasts indicate that 51 provinces in Thailand, including Bangkok, are experiencing thunderstorms, strong winds, and some hail. The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) warns of severe heat in parts of the region, with a 20% chance of thunderstorms in Bangkok as of today, April 6.
The weather forecast for the next 24 hours reveals that a moderate high-pressure system from China is affecting upper Laos and is expected to extend to the eastern north, northeastern Thailand, and the South China Sea today. Additionally, the southwest monsoon and southerly winds are prevailing over northern and northeastern Thailand, contributing to the current weather conditions.
Upper Thailand is generally hot, with extremely hot conditions in some areas of the central region. These conditions lead to summer storms characterised by thunderstorms, strong winds, and occasional hail.
Residents in these areas are advised to take precautions against the storms, avoiding travel through thunderstorms or staying in open areas, under large trees, or near weak structures and billboards. Farmers should reinforce their produce and prepare to prevent damage to crops and livestock while also maintaining their health during weather changes.
