The Thai Department of Meteorology has alerted residents in 42 provinces to expect heavy rainfalls, including in the capital, Bangkok, with 70% of the southern region particularly affected. Citizens are cautioned to take necessary precautions to avoid potential hazards.

 

This 24-hour forecast, valid from 6am today to 6am tomorrow, is due to a southwest monsoon prevailing across the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. This meteorological phenomenon results in rainfall, thunderstorms, and isolated heavy rain in the northeastern and southern parts of the country. The residents in these areas are advised to stay alert to the risks of heavy and accumulated rainfalls.

 

In the Andaman Sea, waves are anticipated to reach a height of 1 metre, with waves surpassing 2 metres in thunderstorm areas. Mariners in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand are requested to navigate with care and avoid thunderstorm areas during this period.

As for the regional weather forecast, the northern region will experience 30% thunderstorms mainly in Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phayao, Nan, Lam Phun, Lampang, Phrae and Tak provinces – with temperatures dropping to as low as 23-28 degrees Celsius and reaching highs of 34-36 degrees Celsius.
