Meteogram

Synoptic situation

The Low pressure belt over Northern India hes extented towards the Bay of bengal and the Northern and Western provinces of Myanmar. This results in an increase of the instability over those regions, resulting in an increase of showery/thundery outbreaks.
Especially over the Northern Provinces of Saigang and Kachin we have to take in account a lot of developing convective cells, resulting in showery and thundery outbreaks.
Between 00 and 03utc a squall line moves from the Bay of Bengal into the Provinces of Rakhaing and Ayeyarwady, which generates some heavy showers and thunderstorms during the early day, but after 3/6utc the conditions should remain pretty dry.
Also over the province of Shan over the East of Myanmar the instability is deep enough to trigger showers and thundertorms. During the following days no big changes happen: the advection of a deep unstable air mass with the development of frequent convective cells and thunderstorms. At first sight it looks loke especially the Northtern and Easern Provinces will be hit the most. Also the province of Ayeyarwady looks like to get some serious precipitation.

Warnings

-Moderate to severe turbulence in the vicinity of thunderstorms
-Strong winds over the districts of Rakhine and Ayeyarwaddy
