Thailand Issues Heavy Rainfall Warning Through October 25
The Thai Meteorological Department has issued a severe weather warning for heavy rain, flash floods, and strong winds across multiple regions until October 25, 2026.
According to the Thai Meteorological Department’s announcement (No. 12), Thailand is experiencing significant weather instability from October 22 to October 25, 2026. The eastern and southern regions are expected to face continuous heavy to very heavy rainfall. Meanwhile, the lower northern, lower northeastern, and central regions, including Bangkok and its surrounding areas, are forecasted to experience thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds.
This weather pattern is driven by a monsoon trough passing through the central southern region, combined with a southwest monsoon over the lower Andaman Sea and high-pressure systems from China. Residents and travelers in these areas are advised to remain vigilant against potential flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in low-lying areas and near hillsides.
Maritime conditions are also affected, with waves in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand expected to exceed three meters in areas experiencing thunderstorms. Mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution when navigating these waters. As this is an ongoing weather event, individuals should monitor local news outlets and official government updates for real-time changes. It remains to be confirmed how specific local infrastructure will withstand the projected rainfall levels over the coming days.
