Like most countries, Thailand faces extreme weather conditions every year. Flooding is the biggest threat to Thailand's people and economy. The monsoonal rains in 2011 season alone killed 437 people and affected at least 2 million. What I found interesting about Thailand's weather is that snow does not exist there. The closest it has to snow is hail, one year people reported it to be snowing but it was actually small pieces of hail. Basically, rain is the biggest threat to Thailand, it can persist in some areas for months at a time with hardly a break in between rainfall. Climate change is going to have an huge impact on the severity of storms in the coming years, as it has been increasing immensely in the last 10 years.
