The Meteorological Department has forecasted that, despite a general decrease in rainfall across Thailand, heavy rain is still expected in some areas over the next 24 hours. The affected regions include the lower northern region, the upper northeastern region, the upper central region, and the eastern region. Residents in these areas are advised to exercise caution as the heavy rainfall and accumulated precipitation could lead to flash floods and runoff, especially in mountainous areas near waterways and low-lying regions.
This weather pattern is influenced by a moderately strong southwest monsoon covering the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, which has begun to weaken. Additionally, a low-pressure area over northern Vietnam is contributing to the conditions.
In the Andaman Sea, wave activity is expected to decrease, with waves reaching around 2 meters in height in the northern part of the sea. In the southern Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf of Thailand, waves will range from 1 to 2 meters, with higher waves exceeding 2 meters in areas experiencing thunderstorms. Mariners are advised to navigate with caution and avoid sailing in stormy areas.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm “Shanshan,” currently located over southern Japan, is not expected to impact Thailand’s weather. However, travelers planning to visit Japan are encouraged to check the weather conditions before departure.
In Bangkok and its surrounding areas, scattered thunderstorms are anticipated in 60% of the region, with temperatures ranging from 25-27°C (77-81°F) in the morning and 32-35°C (90-95°F) in the afternoon.
