Thailand Issues Heavy Rainfall and Flash Flood Warning for Sept 23-27
The Thai Meteorological Department has issued a warning for widespread heavy rain across most of Thailand, including Bangkok, from September 23 to 27, 2026.
The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has released its third official announcement regarding severe weather conditions expected across Thailand. According to the report, heavy to very heavy rainfall is forecast to impact the country between September 23 and September 27, 2026.
Regions identified as being at risk include the North, the lower Northeast, the Central region—including Bangkok and its surrounding metropolitan area—as well as the East and the South. The weather pattern is expected to begin in the lower Northeast and the East before spreading to other parts of the country in the following days.
For residents and travelers, this weather event carries a significant risk of flash floods and forest runoff. Those currently in or planning to visit these areas are advised to monitor local weather updates closely and exercise caution, particularly in low-lying areas or near waterways prone to sudden water level increases.
While the TMD has provided a clear timeline for the expected weather, the specific intensity and exact geographical impact may vary. Authorities have not yet issued specific evacuation orders, but the public is encouraged to stay informed through official government channels as the situation develops throughout the week.
