Scattered to widespread thundershowers with locally heavy rain forecast in four states and regions

Scattered to widespread thundershowers expected across four states and regions, with heavy rain possible in some areas

November 9

Due to the collision of cold air descending from mainland China and easterly wave disturbances rising from the east and south, scattered to widespread thundershowers are expected in Shan State (northern, southern, and eastern parts), Mandalay Region, Sagaing Region (lower part), and some areas of Magway Region, with heavy rain possible in certain areas, according to an assessment by meteorologist U Win Naing.

Rainfall intensity is expected to peak especially in Shan State and Mandalay Region on November 10, it is stated.

In Kachin State, Nay Pyi Taw, Bago Region, Yangon Region, Ayeyarwady Region, Kayin State, Mon State, and Tanintharyi Region, isolated to scattered thundershowers are possible, it is stated.

Starting from November 12, rain activity will noticeably decrease, and from November 13 to 15, nearly the entire country will be free of rain with only moderate cloud cover, it is stated.

As northerly/northeasterly winds will blow from a high-pressure area, nighttime temperatures in inland and highland areas will drop significantly, and cool winter weather will begin to set in, it is stated.

Between November 9 and 11, easterly wave disturbances and a cold air mass will meet, forming cumulonimbus clouds over inland areas, which may bring strong winds, lightning strikes, and hail, according to an assessment by meteorologist U Win Naing.
