If you’re now complaining of the current heat Thailand is experiencing, this might continue on for the coming months as Director Wanchai Sakudomchai of the Thai Meteorological Department said today that summer will officially be welcomed anytime this week.

The department is getting ready to officially welcome summer anytime this week with temperature ranging from 42-43 degrees Celsius, according to MThai.

On Tuesday, March 7, Northern Thailand will experience summer thunderstorms, wind gusts and “hail” in some areas. Thunderstorms will also hit the capital on Wednesday.

The department advises residents to stay away from direct sunlight and stay indoors in the days to come.
