ONWR Issues Flash Flood Warning for 30 Provinces
The Office of the National Water Resources has issued a warning for 30 provinces across Thailand, advising residents and travelers to remain vigilant for flash floods between September 26 and 30, 2026.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) has released its sixth announcement of 2026, alerting the public to potential flash floods and water runoff. The warning covers 30 provinces and is effective from September 26 through September 30, 2026.
For residents and travelers currently in or planning to visit these regions, the situation necessitates increased caution. Heavy rainfall is expected to increase the risk of sudden flooding, which may impact local infrastructure, road travel, and outdoor activities. Authorities are urging those in low-lying areas or near waterways to monitor local weather updates closely and follow instructions from provincial officials.
While the ONWR has identified the affected provinces, specific localized impacts remain to be confirmed as weather patterns evolve. Travelers are advised to check their specific routes and accommodation locations against official government updates before proceeding with travel plans. It is important to note that this is a precautionary advisory; individuals should rely on official channels for real-time safety information and emergency guidance during this period.
