The Meteorological Department of Thailand (TMD) issued a warning of continuous heavy rainfall in 45 provinces today. This includes Bangkok and surrounding areas, where it was reported that 80% of the area is expected to be heavily affected.

 

The sudden flooding could cause potential hazards for residents in these areas. The people are urged to prepare for such possibilities, especially those residing near mountain slopes, waterways, and low-lying areas.

 

The TMD also warns about the possibility of flash floods and forest runoff. Maritime areas in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand are expected to experience waves up to 1 metre high.


In areas with thunderstorms, the wave height can exceed 2 metres. Boat operators are advised to proceed with caution and avoid areas with thunderstorms during this period following the heavy rainfall warning.

And of course, TMDs Nongchok weather radar which covers Bangkok is offline ????

 

Nongkhame is still working but lacks detail.

Whole last month iPhone's weather app was showing heavy rain warning for September 9 I think, now it's showing heavy rain warning until October 2. I very much appreciate how up-to-date these warnings are...

The used to be an 'ad' on Radio 1 where the DJ would announce a break for the weather forecast and a guy with a Caribbean accent would say, "I'm on de roof of de BBC and it's pissing down". It was funny at the time.
