Thai Meteorological Department Issues Warning for Heavy Rain and Variable Weather (Oct 24–28)
Authorities have issued a weather alert for heavy rainfall in the South and unstable conditions across upper Thailand through October 28, 2026.
The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued its second weather warning (No. 274/2569) regarding severe weather conditions expected across Thailand from October 24 to 28, 2026. According to Khaosod Online, the southern region is expected to experience continuous heavy to very heavy rainfall, which may lead to flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in low-lying areas and near mountain slopes.
Simultaneously, upper Thailand will face variable weather conditions from October 25 to 27. This includes thunderstorms and gusty winds, starting in the Northeast before moving to the North, Central region, Bangkok and its vicinity, and the East.
For residents and travelers, this weather pattern poses risks of localized flooding and hazards from strong winds. The TMD advises the public to avoid staying in open areas, standing under large trees, or near unstable billboards during these storms.
While the TMD has identified the general timeline and affected regions, the specific intensity of rainfall in individual provinces remains subject to change. Travelers are encouraged to monitor local weather updates closely and follow instructions from local authorities. Those planning outdoor activities or travel in the affected regions should exercise caution and prepare for potential disruptions to transport and local services due to heavy rain.
