Thailand anticipates widespread summer storms this weekend, bringing rain, strong winds, and potential hail to most regions, excluding the south.
The storms are driven by a moderate cold front from China combining with humid southerly and south-easterly winds.
Northeastern and some eastern provinces will be significantly impacted on Saturday, with a reduced number of affected provinces on Sunday.
Numerous other northern, central, and western provinces, including the capital Bangkok, are also forecast to experience these severe weather conditions.
