The Meteorological Department has issued a weather forecast for the next 24 hours, predicting heavy rainfall in parts of Northern, Northeastern, Central, Eastern, and Southern Thailand, including Bangkok and its vicinity. The forecast warns of potential flash floods and landslides, particularly in mountainous and low-lying areas near water sources.
A moderate monsoon trough extends across the upper northern and northeastern regions of Thailand, connecting to a low-pressure system over northern Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin. Additionally, a southwest monsoon is affecting the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. This combination is causing heavy rainfall in several areas.
Northern Region: 70% chance of thunderstorms, with heavy rain expected in provinces such as Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, and others. Temperatures range from 23-36°C.
