Severe weather alert for 41 provinces including Bangkok, warns TMD

The Thailand Meteorological Department (TMD) issued a severe weather warning for today, with thunderstorms predicted to affect 41 provinces across the country, including Bangkok, where heavy rainfall is expected in 60% of the area. Citizens are advised to take precautions against potential hazards.

The weather forecast for the next 24 hours indicates that a high-pressure area or cold air mass is currently covering upper Thailand and the South China Sea, resulting in fog during the morning hours. Meanwhile, an easterly wind wave is moving over the lower central region, the eastern region, the Gulf of Thailand, and the southern region.

This weather pattern is causing heavy rainfall in some areas of the central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the eastern region, and the southern region.

Residents in these areas are advised to be cautious of heavy and accumulated rainfall. Moreover, they are urged to exercise caution while travelling through areas experiencing thunderstorms during this period.
