Bangkok (ASTV Manager Online) – The Meteorological Department issued its warning about hailstorm in eight northern provinces during March 14-15.
Affected provinces include Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son, Payao, Nan, Lampun, Lampang and Phrae.
People in the risk areas and farmers were warned to cope with the situation.
The Meteorological Department earlier warned people in the northeast that a tropical storm would happen on March 13-15.
People were also told not to stay outdoors, under big trees and signboards.
The tropical storm was influenced by the high-pressure mass from China which would cover the upper parts of Vietnam.
Affected areas cover the northeast, north, central region, east and upper south. Powerful winds and hailstorm possibly take place in some areas.
Fishermen were warned to become more cautious about their sailing during these 2-3 days.
