Meteogram

Synoptic situation

Two main pressure systems dominate the today’s Myanmar’s weather maps: firstly there is the low pressure belt over Northern India which extends towards the Bay of Bengal. There it meets the second pressure system that builds high pressure from the South. Where both pressure systems meet, the surface pressure gradient sharpens and as a result the wind increases over the Bay of Bengal. This reinforces the advection of warm and moist air towards Myanmar.
This air mass leads to the formation of convective cells that results in showery and thundery outbreaks spread over the inland of Myanmar. So a certain distance from the coast the most active cells can be expected especially over the Province of Chin. Tonight the active cells move further north, to the Provinces of Sagaing and Kachin. The Eastern parts of the country are likely to remain dry as a ridge of high pressure extends along the Eastern border.
This suppresses most instability, so only a few isolated showers are expected to develop in the province of Shan.
Over the Southern provinces there is some showery/thundery activity over the Provinces of Mon and Kayin-but the province of Tanintharyi it looks like no showers or thunderstorms will develop.

Warnings

-Moderate to severe turbulence in the vicinity of thunderstorms
-Province of Ayeyarwaddy: a few heavy showery/thundery outbreaks-heavy precipitation
