The Meteorological Department has issued a weather forecast for the next 24 hours, warning of heavy rainfall in the northern, upper northeastern, eastern, southern regions, and Bangkok metropolitan areas. The rains could potentially cause flash floods and landslides, particularly in low-lying areas and near mountain slopes.
A monsoon trough stretches over the northern parts of Thailand and upper Laos, extending to a low-pressure area over northern Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin. Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon continues to cover the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. These conditions are expected to result in heavy rainfall in the affected regions.
The department urges residents in these areas to remain vigilant for potential hazards from heavy rains and accumulated precipitation that could lead to flash floods and landslides. Coastal residents and seafarers in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand should also exercise caution, as waves are expected to reach about 1 meter in height, with areas of thunderstorms seeing waves as high as 2 meters.
