Thailand, April 25th, 2025 — The Thai Meteorological Department issued a weather alert warning of summer storms affecting upper Thailand between April 26th and May 1st.
The storms are expected to bring thunderstorms, strong winds, hail, heavy rainfall in some areas, and possible lightning strikes. The adverse weather is due to a moderate high-pressure system from China spreading over Vietnam and the South China Sea.
This will strengthen the convergence of southeasterly and southwesterly winds across the upper part of the country, coinciding with hot to extremely hot conditions over the region.
People in affected areas are advised to stay indoors during storms, avoid open spaces, large trees, unstable billboards, and poorly constructed buildings. Those living in low-lying or flood-prone zones should watch for possible short-term flooding due to poor drainage.
