webfact Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 TMD issues first weather warning after tropical storm ‘Mun’ (Photo) Thai Meteorological Department The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued a weather warning related to tropical “Mun” this evening (Monday), to alert people to approaching heavy rains and strong winds in the South. In the statement, the TMD predicts more rain from 16th – 21st July in the South and East due to a tropical depression approaching from the Pacific, which is likely to gain strength and move through the Philippines into the northern South China Sea, and the strengthening southwest monsoon that prevails over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. “Outbreaks of heavy rain are also possible for those areas. People should be aware of severe conditions that may cause flash floods and heavy water runoff” warned the TMD in its statement.

Captain_Bob Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The TMD has about the same credibility as a Thai bar girl who says "love you only, love you long time", etc. In so many words, they are talking shi t e. Already we're having one of the worst drought years in a very long time. Farmers should be planting/growing rice now, but all over the north almost no rain, canals dry, no irrigation, game over for millions of farmers. For once I wish the TMD would be right and it would rain cats and dogs, but don't hold your breath for anything promised by Thai mouths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Does refer to the south but nevertheless the TMD website has shown rain for Chiangmai and many northern areas for weeks now, absolutely useless. And yes, the driest June, July I can ever remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhawk_usa Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I guess it is all about how you interpret it. It does also mean 70% chance of no rain, ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 In Udon, luckily we had a wet June. July has been somewhat dry, just 10 mm in the last week. Thai Weather forecast? 10% chance of rain everyday for next week. What a fudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC1701A Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 ok according to the US Navy, topical storm DANAS is going to move almost due north from its current position. the low pressure will suck moisture east from the Andaman Sea across southern Thailand. Very similar to Tropic storm Mun a few weeks ago. Here is my chart which is better than anything on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
