The Meteorological Department issued a warning on Tuesday that summer storms are likely to form in parts of the north, northeast, and northern regions starting on Thursday, including Bangkok.

The wind department reported that over the three regions from Thursday through Saturday, there were scattered storms with strong winds winds coming from a fairly large pressure system that was expanding from China to the lower part of Thailand and the South China Sea.

Citizens should be on guard. With some thunder and lightning, it said,” sudden storms could take weather, rain, and perhaps hail.”

Last Friday, Thailand actually kicked off the summertime. The Thuen district in Lampang, where temperatures reached 40.5 % C on Monday, was the hottest location in the nation. At Kiew Mae Pan on Doi Inthanon in Chiang Mai, it was 8°C.
