Water Resource Expert Provides Update on Expected Rainfall for October 9-11
Key points
- Assistant Professor Dr.
- Sitang Pilailar of Kasetsart University has provided an update on the weather outlook for Thailand, suggesting that heavy rainfall expected between October 9 and 11 will likely be less severe than previously feared.
According to a report by Thai Post, Assistant Professor Dr. Sitang Pilailar, an expert in water resource management from the Faculty of Engineering at Kasetsart University, shared an update on the anticipated weather conditions for Thailand. Based on her analysis, the rainfall forecasted for the period of October 9-11, 2026, is not expected to be as severe as many had initially worried.
Dr. Sitang noted that while heavy rain is still expected, it is unlikely to be persistent or stagnant. The areas identified as potentially experiencing this heavy rainfall include the lower central region, specifically Bangkok, the three 'Samut' provinces (Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon, and Samut Songkhram), Ratchaburi, and Phetchaburi.
For residents and travelers in these areas, this update suggests that while weather conditions may be wet, the situation may not reach the critical levels previously anticipated. However, it remains important for those in the affected regions to monitor local weather reports and official updates from the Thai Meteorological Department, as weather patterns can shift rapidly. As of now, this information serves as a preliminary outlook based on expert analysis rather than an official government warning. Travelers are advised to keep their plans flexible and stay informed through reliable local news sources.
