Thai Ministry of Digital Economy Ends Partnership with Tomorrow.io
Minister Chaiyachon Chidchob has confirmed the termination of the Tomorrow.io weather forecasting platform, citing a need for better communication from the Thai Meteorological Department.
Minister of Digital Economy and Society (MDES) Chaiyachon Chidchob has announced that the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has officially ceased its use of the Tomorrow.io weather forecasting platform. According to Prachachat Business, the decision was made to allow the ministry time to evaluate the current system and explore alternative options for weather data delivery.
Minister Chaiyachon acknowledged that the current communication methods employed by the TMD remain difficult for the general public to understand. He emphasized that the department must urgently improve how it conveys meteorological information to ensure it is accessible and useful for residents and visitors alike.
For those living in or traveling to Thailand, this change means that the official channels for weather updates may undergo adjustments in the near future as the ministry seeks more effective ways to disseminate critical climate data. While the partnership with Tomorrow.io has ended, the specific timeline for implementing a replacement system or the nature of the new communication strategies remains to be confirmed. Residents and travelers are advised to continue monitoring official TMD channels for updates, as the ministry works to refine its public information services.
