webfact Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thundershowers forecast for upper Thailand, heavy rain in some parts By THE NATION Thundershowers are likely over the upper part of the country while isolated heavy rains and gusty wind are possible in the Northwest, the lower Central region and the East, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the Thailand Meteorological Department announced on Tuesday (October 15). The department attributed the weather conditions to moderate a high-pressure system covering the North, the Northeast, the upper Central and the South China Sea. The easterly wind prevailing over Thailand, the Gulf and the Andaman Sea is strengthening. The department also forecast more rain with isolated heavy downpours for the South. Moderate winds will whip up the waves in the lower Gulf up to 2 meters and above during thundershowers. All ships should proceed with caution and avoid stormy conditions. The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is as follows: Northern region: Mostly cloudy with thunderstorms and heavy rain in 30 per cent of the area; temperature lows of 21-25degrees and highs of 32-35 degree Celsius.

So Fake News. Well, we've had heavy rain in my part of Kalasin Province this afternoon, so for once I'll go with what the met office said. Got a feeling it might have been the wet season's swansong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Aylesham Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 My accuweather app shows rain clouds on the satellite at 17.30 this afternoon. We have already had a heavy but brief shower this afternoon and the sky over the hang dong area is pretty dark. Kudos to the Thai Met - 'though weather forecasting is an inaccurate science they are 100% right to warn us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussie11950 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Never heard of thunder showers. It sounds like an oxymoron. Thunder being the noise from lightning, and showers being just normal rain. Thunderstorms, heavy showers, torrential rain yes, its like saying storm rain lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
