Authorities have alerted 38 provinces to prepare for potential flash floods, forest runoff, and landslides due to heavy rainfall.
On September 13, 2026, the Thai Meteorological Department issued a weather advisory warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall across 38 provinces. According to the report from Thai Post, the most significant precipitation is expected in the Northeastern and Eastern regions of Thailand. The forecast also indicates that the Northern, Central, and Southern regions will experience continued rainfall over the next 24 hours.
For residents and travelers, this weather pattern poses a heightened risk of flash floods, sudden forest runoff, and landslides, particularly in low-lying areas or near mountainous terrain. Those currently in or planning to visit these regions should exercise extreme caution, monitor local weather updates closely, and follow instructions from provincial authorities.
While the Meteorological Department has identified the affected regions, the specific intensity and duration of the rainfall in individual districts remain subject to change. Travelers are advised to check local conditions before embarking on outdoor activities or traveling through mountainous routes. It is recommended to stay informed through official government channels for real-time updates on potential evacuation orders or road closures as the situation develops.
