The meteorological department has warned residents of northeastern and northern Thailand to expect tropical storms this week.

The storm will bring thunderstorms and hail in some parts of the country. The storm will intensify later this week as a high-pressure system coming from China is moving northeast of the country.

The central part of the country and the east coast will only be slightly affected by this storm. Temperatures in Thailand will drop towards the end of the week, due to winds from Myanmar impacting the weather in the north and northeastern regions.

People are advised to stay at home as much as possible, because the strong wind can cause injuries from loose flying objects and falling trees.

    I already had it. At a quarter past five. And now, a quarter to 10, the power is just coming back. You never get used to it but you get used to it…

      , I already had it, maybe it would be nice to mention where it is. Thailand is huge.

    Arrived in Phuket by boat from Ao Nang Beach on March 15. Yesterday afternoon it rained heavily for an hour and today in the afternoon another short shower. I don't think this is normal during March because summer has started, but there is a shift in climate all over the world. This week on the news in Loei near the border with Laos hail balls. Could it be related to global warming?

      A prominent environmental scientist has publicly criticized the fifth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, UN's International Panel on Climate Change), stating that the increase in carbon dioxide could lead to human extinction.

      A professor of chemical thermodynamics at the University of Manchester scoffed at the terms "climate change" and "global warming" in a scholarly critique of the UN's "scare tactics".

      A former NASA researcher says human-caused CO2 emissions are too small to affect global warming and thus an unproven hypothesis. The man is one of the founders of Molecular Simulation and he received a Fellowship from the Max Plank Society.

      Water is a much more potent greenhouse gas and 20 times more of that is in our atmosphere. About 1% of the atmosphere is water, while CO2 only takes up 0,04%, global warming "the biggest hoax".
      Carbon dioxide is also dismissed as a poisonous gas, but the truth is that it is life-giving. We breathe out CO2, plants breathe in CO2 and we are not the cause of the increase in the atmosphere. Nonsense. Global warming is nonsense. The environmental lobby is stimulated because there are economic motives.

      Went for a walk this morning with wife and dog, while most in the Netherlands and Belgium were lying on one ear, we didn't have a storm, but we did have a few hail showers and thunder, which is normal here in the tropics, indescribable how beautiful and how fast the nature recovers here in the Isaan after a dry period, we enjoyed the birds and the lilies here in the lake, the serene peace around our house, I also believe, "climate warming" scare tactics.

      Hail and severe storm yesterday afternoon also between Nongkhai and Phon Phisai but I have experienced this kind of weather before in March in 15 years here. Incidentally, today it is again beautiful summer weather, no wind and not a rain cloud in the sky.

    I hear these warnings regularly.
    But haven't seen a drop of rain yet.
    There was also a warning last week. But all I saw were a few clouds.
    No storm and hail need come from me. But rain would be very welcome. It is now very dry here.
