Meteorologist warns hot season is approaching

Meteorologist warns hot season is approaching

From today's Bangkok Post

The weather bureau has warned that temperatures could rise as high as 41 degrees Celsius, and cited global warming as a possible cause.

Weather expert Torsak Wanitkajorn said the changing weather pattern could see some parts of Thailand experiencing a heat wave in April as usual.

He further explained that tropical storms currently experienced in some provinces are the result of a cold front over parts of the country which could last until May. The northern, central and northeastern regions are at risk for season storms, and locals should be prepared.

Meanwhile, the problem of haze over Chiang Mai improved on Tuesday. Authorities said the situation is now close to normal. Dust level near Phu Ping Palace was recorded at 119 microgrammes per cubic metre, considered normal for this time of year.
