Meteorological Department Issues Summer Storm Warning for Northern Thailand

Bangkok: The Meteorological Department has issued a warning for northern Thailand, urging residents to be cautious of summer storms predicted to last until February 25th. The warning comes after a severe storm hit Nakhon Ratchasima province, causing significant disruption.

According to Thai News Agency, the recent summer storm wreaked havoc in Nakhon Ratchasima, particularly affecting vendors in Ban Lat Bua Khao, Moo 2, Lat Bua Khao Subdistrict, Sikhiu District.
