The Thailand Meteorological Department has issued a summer storm warning for 59 provinces in the North, Northeast, Center and East of the country. According to TMD, summer storms may be caused by the influence of a moderate anticyclone over the South China Sea, which brings southerly and southeasterly winds to northern Thailand. These cool winds collide with extremely hot weather in northern Thailand, resulting in thunderstorms, gusty winds, hail and lightning strikes.
These weather conditions are expected to hit the Northeast and East first before reaching the North and Central regions. Simultaneously, winds from the east and southeast across the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea will bring rain to the South.
The weather conditions presented by the TMD forecast may adversely affect agriculture and transport infrastructure. To minimize risks, it is important to take proper precautions and keep the public safe.
First of all, you should make sure that all buildings and structures are in proper condition and meet safety standards. Drivers must be especially careful on the roads to avoid accidents. It is also important to follow the instructions and recommendations of local authorities and listen to TMD forecasts.
In addition, to minimize risks, it is necessary to take measures to protect crops from hail and other types of destructive impacts.
