The Thai Meteorological Department has issued a weather warning regarding significant rainfall expected across the country. According to Prachachat Business, the southern and eastern regions are currently under alert for heavy to very heavy rain between October 18 and 20, 2026.
Following this initial period, the weather pattern is expected to shift, leading to widespread rainfall across Bangkok, its surrounding provinces, and the Central region from October 21 to 25.
