Severe Rainfall in 60 Thai Provinces Hits 80% of Bangkok

Heavy rainfall is set to hit 60 Thai provinces, with 80% of Bangkok expected to be affected. The Thai Meteorological Department warns of potential flash floods and forest run-off due to ongoing storms, especially in the lower north, upper central, and upper northeast regions. Strong monsoon conditions and a low-pressure cell near China are driving the intense weather. Rough seas in the Andaman and Gulf of Thailand are also forecast, with waves up to 3 meters. Residents and sailors are urged to remain cautious, particularly in mountainous and low-lying areas, and avoid offshore navigation.
