Myanmar’s weather bureau has warned the country faces a week of severe weather, with strong winds, hail and thunderstorms to last until Saturday.
The Meteorology and Hydrology Department told The Global New Light of Myanmar that storms would hit upper Sagaing, Magwe, Mandalay, Shan, Kachin, Chin and Rakhine states first before affecting Yangon and more southern regions in the latter part of the week.
Parts of the country have already experienced stormy weather in recent weeks, ahead of the coming rainy season, while others continue to suffer through one of the strongest heatwaves in decades.
