Khaosod Online Thailand One source

The Thai Meteorological Department has issued a warning for volatile weather, including thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail, affecting upper Thailand through mid-November.

The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued a weather advisory for upper Thailand, warning of volatile conditions including thunderstorms, gusty winds, and potential hail. As of November 6, 2026, these conditions are attributed to a high-pressure system from China extending over the region. Residents and travelers are advised to exercise caution, particularly by avoiding open areas, large trees, and unstable structures or billboards during storms. In Bangkok, residents are encouraged to carry umbrellas as rain is expected. Marine conditions are also affected; in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, areas experiencing thunderstorms may see waves exceeding two meters. Mariners are urged to navigate with extreme caution and avoid storm-affected zones. Looking ahead, the weather pattern is expected to shift toward the southern region. From November 7 to 13, 2026, the southern provinces are forecast to experience an increase in rainfall, with heavy to very heavy downpours expected in many areas due to strengthening easterly winds. While the immediate forecast highlights these risks, individuals should continue to monitor official updates from the TMD for localized changes and specific regional alerts as the situation evolves throughout the week.
