Basics of weather
Let's start with the basic phrase about weather in Thai language.

typhoon/storm
About typhoon/storm, warnings like "The typhoon no.xx is coming !" are heard or seen often in a season. Here is this kind of express in Thai;
meaning	Thai Language (Green:stress / Blue:male / Pink:female)
The typhoon No.15 is coming to Japan.	payu ber-sib-haa gamlung maa yeephun krab/ka พายุ เบอร์ สิบห้า กำลัง มา ญี่ปุ่น ครับ/ค่ะ
"No." is "ber" in Thai. You can express "No. xx" putting a number following it. In the example above, the typhoon is No.15. So, putting a number of 15 (sib-haa) after "ber", that is, ber sib-haa, is okay. payu  : typhoon/storm ber  : number xx sib haa  : 15 (sib: 10, haa: 5  - see: Numbers, Hour, Times gamlung  : is going to maa  : come yeephun  : Japan Following this phrase, it's very nice to say, be careful, in Thai as follows:
meaning	Thai Language (Green:stress / Blue:male / Pink:female)
Be careful !	rawang rawang gun-na krab/ka ระวัง ระวัง กัน นะ ครับ/คะ
rawang  : be careful, watch 〜 (see Daily Life 3: Other Phrases) rawang rawang  : Repeating "Rawang, rawang" makes the meaning stronger. gun  : each other, together na  : added at the end of the sentence to make it softer or politer. Ms. Typhoon, don't get closer to me so often ! :D
