April 2024 has passed with life experiences in facing extremely hot weather. I can hardly find the description. It is considered very hot. Never seen before in Thailand. But during 1-2 May, or possibly until 5 May, the weather will still be hot and extremely hot. The chance of rain is still low. There are some places. Especially in the southern Andaman coast and the lower southern region. Causing the Meteorological Department to issue a warning to be careful and maintain health from hot to extremely hot weather. Be careful of heatstroke Especially those with chronic diseases, children and the elderly, the period 3-10 May should be good news. Because the Meteorological Department came out to say The wind began to change direction southwest wind The upper level is covered by westerly wind waves. There are signs of clouds and rain starting to increase. Most of the rain comes from summer storms. There will be strong wind gusts. Hail fell in some places. Especially the northeastern, central, eastern, Bangkok and surrounding areas. Information: Meteorological Department. This means that the extremely hot air will start to cool down. Enough to relieve some of the heat. As for the southern region, there will still be thunderstorms. But you must follow announcements from the Meteorological Department closely. under the El Niño phenomenon is weakening Causing meteorological conditions to change in October, Central-Eastern-Southern region. Rainfall greater than normal. Rainfall forecast from the Meteorological Department during May. Most areas of Thailand will have total rainfall less than normal. But when June comes, most areas will have total rainfall close to or above normal. Except for the western side of the northern and central regions. and the eastern side of the northeastern region There will be a total amount of rain less than normal. In July, the northern and eastern parts of the northeastern region will Including the upper southern region, total rainfall will be less than normal. while the central, eastern, central and lower southern regions There will be a total amount of rainfall greater than normal in August. Most areas will have rainfall close to normal. Except for the southern region, total rainfall will be less than normal. Until September, most areas in upper Thailand will have total rainfall close to or greater than normal. As for the southern region, total rainfall will be less than normal and in October, most areas of Thailand will have total rainfall greater than normal. Especially in the central, eastern and southern regions, Thailand will experience extreme heat. After the 2nd week of May, weather experts “Associate Professor Seri Suparathit,” Chairman of the Executive Board of Futuretales LAB, MQDC, stated that Thailand will go through intense heat. The most extreme possible After the 2nd week of May, the weather is still hot. The temperature will be lower than 40 degrees Celsius, about 35-39 degrees Celsius, starting from the 2nd week of May onwards. Until June, it will feel lighter, starting to get better. The temperature will drop on average 3 degrees Celsius. Around 35-36 degrees, it’s still hot. Because global warming has no limits. But it’s still better than a month. April: “The rain is not good from May to June. There is rain, but it is less than normal. Before it starts raining more in mid-September and by the end of this year it will be better. There is heavy rain awaiting drainage in the central, eastern and southern regions from the transition from El Niño. It is a moderate La Niña. This makes the weather cooler than usual at the end of the year. The average temperature dropped about 0.5 degrees, helping to cool off. But concerned about the upper northern region and upper Isaan If there is little rain, it will be heavy until next year. You won’t get much water. Even though there are big dams Bhumibol and Sirikit dams But the amount of water remaining is less than 30%.” The hope is that a storm will hit Thailand and help replenish water, but the chance is very slim. It is expected that between May and October this year there will be 18 tropical storms, up from an average of 20. Of these, 10 developed into typhoons. It is the hope that Thailand will receive more water. And the path that the storm will take must be followed to determine which country it will enter. But when looking at the possibility that it will happen less than usual in Thailand. It is expected that at least 2, or only 10%, will enter Thailand. Therefore, risks must be managed and prepared to cope. and the La Niña phenomenon It will end in March-April 2025, after which it will return to being El Niño. At this time, no one dares to tell the truth. Because the temperature is getting hotter Makes the fruit ripen quickly, such as durian, normally 100-120 days. It must be cut, but when the weather gets hotter Durian will fall easily. Must be cut within 92 days, making the taste not as sweet. and not gaining weight But the government instead told farmers to speed up the cutting of durian between 10-15 May, trying to communicate that durian production had improved. Including agricultural products, even though the production is slow due to the hot weather problem. There must be someone who is talented. How to make Thailand a rice bowl? Use the crisis as an opportunity to develop fruit plant varieties that are drought-resistant and use less water. We must speed up development and use innovation to help. When El Niño returns next year, it will be hotter. It is considered the issue of global warming and climate change. It is the biggest issue to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Because right now the world is warming at an average of 1-2 degrees Celsius in the past 30 years, and from February of last year to March this year, the global warming was 1.58 degrees Celsius, which is too hot. It shows that the way to limit the global temperature to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius is not possible. “Thailand must go back and look at itself. Lower the temperature. Design a green city like Singapore. At the same time, global society is putting pressure on each country to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If Thailand continues to move forward like this It will cost more. Therefore, clean energy must be used. Because global warming is a big issue that must be resolved quickly. For all life on this planet”.
