The Meteorological Department reports increased rainfall across Thailand, with heavy showers in some areas of the upper Northeast and lower South. The weather remains hot during the day. Bangkok and surrounding areas will experience thunderstorms in 40% of the region.
The Meteorological Department forecasts the weather for the next 24 hours, expecting increased rainfall and heavy rain in some areas of the upper Northeast and lower South. The weather will remain hot during the day due to the stronger southwest monsoon covering the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. Meanwhile, the monsoon trough is passing through the upper parts of Myanmar and Laos, heading towards a low-pressure area over northern Vietnam. People in these areas should be cautious of heavy rainfall and accumulated rain, which may cause flash floods and rapid water flows, especially in foothill areas near waterways and low-lying regions. Additionally, take care of your health due to the rising temperatures.
For the Andaman Sea, from Phuket and above, moderate winds are expected with waves 1-2 meters high, and over 2 meters high in areas with thunderstorms. Sailors are advised to avoid sailing in areas with thunderstorms.
