People of Bangkok and the surrounding area are being advised to be on the lookout for summer winds that are forecast for two weeks starting on Friday.

The Meteorological Department issued a warning in a speech on Wednesday on the possibility of rain and strong winds to Greater Bangkok on Friday and Saturday.

More than a number of provinces are anticipated to be hit by stormy weather, including rain and gusts, including the capital and opposite provinces.

The wind firm forecasts storms for the lower portion of the northwestern area, about half of the northern area, and some central and eastern regions from Thursday to Friday, according to the wind firm. Therefore, it added, the troops did move south to Greater Bangkok, followed by Prachuap Khiri Khan and Chumphon on Saturday.

The ministry said that the winds did not anticipate a negative impact on north tourist destinations like Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Mae Hong Son.
