Rainy election day in Thailand: Voters must prepare!
There are elections in Thailand on February 8th, but voters have to prepare for more than just casting a ballot. The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued a timely warning of unpleasant weather that is expected on this day. The plan is for voters to prepare for rainy conditions caused by a cold air mass from China. These changeable weather conditions bring not only precipitation, but also cooler weather and possibly thunderstorms.
The central region, the eastern region, the south as well as Bangkok and neighboring provinces are likely to be particularly affected by the storms. A high-pressure system could initially bring thunderstorms and later stronger winds. The authority recommends that all voters allow sufficient time to get to the polling stations. Weather-related delays should definitely be taken into account when planning your journey so that everyone can cast their vote on time.
Weather forecast with consequences
In addition to the weather warning, the TMD has advised that temperatures will drop significantly in many parts of the country. A change in the weather may mean voters have to prepare not only for the election, but also for cold and wet conditions. It is advisable to have a plan B in place in case the weather gets really extreme.
Weather experts recommend following current weather reports closely in the days before the election. Going into the election with a bald head would not only be unwise, but also unpleasant. In fact, voters should not be deterred by uninviting weather because every vote counts and is important for the future of the country.
In such a situation, where everything should be well thought out, it is particularly crucial not to miss your voice. The authorities encourage everyone to plan their journey to the polling stations well in advance. This way you can ensure that you not only cast your vote, but also arrive safely and dry. Preparing for the weather could be the deciding factor in enjoying today's election day in a relaxed manner.
