On 5 March 2026, the Facebook pageMeteorological Departmentposted a message about "summer storms" and "rainy season storms" stating to be sure: 'summer storms' and 'rainy season storms' are not the same.
are storms notable for "strong and sudden winds," occurring from late winter to summer. They develop suddenly, come quickly, and go quickly. The main cause is accumulated hot air colliding with cold air masses. Their characteristics include strong gusts, lightning, and hail.
are storms notable for "accumulated rainfall," occurring during the rainy season (rain may last all day). They occur continuously over wide areas, accumulating over several days. The main causes are influences of the monsoon or low-pressure areas. Characteristics include frequent rain and continuous heavy to very heavy rainfall.
