The Thailand Meteorological Department (TMD) today issued a strong warning regarding the southwest monsoon, anticipating heavy rainfall in 41 provinces, including Bangkok. The rain will dominate about 40% of these areas with the severe conditions expected in the afternoon and evening.

 

The southwest monsoon is currently hovering over the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, while a weakening monsoon trough extends over the upper part of northern Thailand and upper Laos. It is anticipated that these conditions will cause thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in parts of the eastern region. Residents in these areas are advised to stay alert to the potential hazards brought about by rainfall.

 

Concerning sea conditions, waves in the upper Andaman Sea could reach heights of 2 metres, while waves in the lower Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand could be between 1 and 2 metres high. In areas affected by thunderstorms, waves could exceed 2 metres. Boat operators in these areas are advised to navigate with caution and to avoid areas impacted by storms, reported KhaoSod.
