A severe tropical storm, Trami, is set to bring heavy rain and potential flooding to 31 provinces across Thailand today, October 26, with 40% of the areas expected to experience significant rainfall. The Meteorological Department has issued a weather forecast, warning of the tropical storm’s impact over the next 24 hours.

 

Strong northwesterly and northeasterly winds are sweeping across the Andaman Sea and upper Thailand, contributing to the adverse weather conditions. The powerful tropical storm Trami is currently situated over the central South China Sea. This weather pattern is causing an increase in rainfall, particularly in the northeastern, central, and eastern regions of the country.

 

For the Andaman Sea and lower Gulf of Thailand, moderate winds and waves are expected, with waves reaching heights of one to two metres. In areas with thunderstorms, wave heights could exceed two metres. Mariners in these regions are urged to navigate carefully and avoid sailing in thunderstorm-prone areas.

 

The northern region will experience cool temperatures in the morning with isolated thunderstorms, particularly in Uttaradit, Phitsanulok, Phetchabun, and Phichit provinces. The lowest temperatures will range between 22 to 25 degrees Celcius (°C), while the highest will be between 33 to 36°C. Northeasterly winds will blow at speeds of 10 to 15 kilometres per hour (km/h).


In the northeastern region, expect cool morning weather with scattered thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in Loei, Chaiyaphum, Nakhon Ratchasima, Amnat Charoen, and Ubon Ratchathani. Temperatures will range from 18 to 24°C in the morning and 32 to 34°C during the day. Northeasterly winds will blow at speeds of 10 to 30 km/h.

 

The central region will see scattered thunderstorms with heavy rain in some areas, particularly in Lopburi and Saraburi provinces. Morning temperatures will range from 23 to 25°C, rising to 35 to 36°C during the day. Northwesterly winds will blow at speeds of 10 to 20 km/h.

In the eastern region, 40% of the area will experience thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, especially in Nakhon Nayok, Prachinburi, Chachoengsao, Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi, and Trat provinces.

Northwesterly winds will blow at speeds of 15 to 30 km/h, with waves reaching heights of about one metre, and over two metres in areas with thunderstorms.

 

For southern Thailand (eastern coast), 40% of the area will experience thunderstorms, particularly in Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat provinces. Morning temperatures will range from 22 to 25°C, rising to 33 to 35°C during the day. Northwesterly winds will blow at speeds of 15 to 30 km/h, with waves reaching heights of about one metre, and over two metres in areas with thunderstorms.


For areas south of Nakhon Si Thammarat, wind speeds will increase to 15 to 35 km/h, and waves will reach heights of one to two metres, with higher waves in thunderstorm areas.

 

On the western coast of southern Thailand, 60% of the area will experience thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, especially in Phang Nga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang, and Satun provinces.
