The Meteorological Department has issued a warning today about weather conditions in Thailand. The northern part of the country is experiencing morning fog and increasing rainfall. Simultaneously, the southern region is facing substantial downpours, causing a sudden risk of flooding and rapid forest runoff.

 

The high-pressure weather system or cold air mass that covers the northern part of Thailand is beginning to weaken. At the same time, the eastern winds are blowing over Thailand, the Gulf of Thailand, and the Andaman Sea. This situation results in fog in the morning in the northern part of Thailand and increasing rainfall. In the southern region, heavy rain continues in certain areas.

 

The local population in the southern areas is advised to be cautious about the dangers of heavy rainfall and accumulated rainfall, which could lead to sudden flooding and rapid forest runoff. This is especially the case in areas near mountain slopes, along watercourses, and in low-lying areas. There is also a need to be more cautious when travelling through areas with thunderstorms, reported KhaoSod.
