ONWR Issues Flood and Flash Flood Warning for 10 Southern Provinces
The Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) has issued a warning for 10 provinces in Southern Thailand due to high flood and flash flood risks.
According to a report by Matichon Online on October 25, 2026, the Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) has alerted residents and visitors in 10 southern provinces to prepare for potential flooding and flash floods. The warning comes as national reservoir levels have reached 83% of their total capacity, increasing the risk of overflow in vulnerable areas.
Trang province recorded the highest rainfall intensity, reaching 166 millimeters, which highlights the severity of the current weather conditions in the region. For residents and travelers, this situation necessitates increased caution, particularly when planning travel to low-lying areas or regions prone to rapid water accumulation. It is advisable to monitor local weather updates closely and follow instructions from provincial authorities, as conditions can change rapidly during heavy rainfall events.
While the ONWR has identified these 10 provinces as high-risk zones, specific details regarding which districts are most affected or the expected duration of the heavy rainfall remain to be confirmed. Travelers currently in or planning to visit the southern region should check with local transport providers and accommodation hosts regarding potential disruptions to infrastructure or services. SawaLife continues to monitor official reports for further updates on the situation.
