Severe weather conditions are expected to persist, and both residents and tourists are advised to take precautionary measures during this time.

BANGKOK, Thailand – The Thai Meteorological Department has forecast heavy rain and thunderstorms across Thailand in the next 24 hours, with particularly severe rainfall expected in parts of the Northeastern and Southern regions. Residents are advised to stay alert for possible flash floods and landslides, especially in low-lying areas and near mountain slopes.

This weather is driven by a strong southwestern monsoon affecting the Andaman Sea, Southern Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. Additionally, a tropical depression over the northern South China Sea is expected to make landfall in central Vietnam between September 19-20.

Maritime Warnings: Both the Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf of Thailand are experiencing strong winds and high waves. Wave heights of 2-4 meters are expected, with areas of thunderstorms potentially seeing waves exceed 4 meters. Lower Gulf waters will experience waves up to 2 meters, and above 2 meters in areas with thunderstorms. Seafarers are advised to exercise caution and avoid navigating through stormy conditions. Small boats in the Andaman Sea and upper Gulf should remain ashore during this period.
