This is the amusing moment a pet dog was started when a storm blew his mosquito net tent during a storm.

Footage shows a strong gust of wind sweeping away the lightweight tent covering the sleeping pooch on a home's porch in Samut Sakhon province, Thailand, on March 29.

The tent knocked over a small electric fan, rousing the canine from its sleep.

The Thai Meteorological Department said the southerly and southeasterly winds were prevailing over the country's central, eastern, and northeastern regions.

High temperatures with isolated thunderstorms and gusty winds are expected in northern Thailand, the agency said.

Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia are approaching their annual monsoon rainy season which sees soaring temperatures followed by powerful rain storms.
