Thai Meteorological Department Issues Heavy Rain and Flash Flood Warning for 28 Provinces
The Thai Meteorological Department has warned of heavy rainfall, flash floods, and cooling temperatures across 28 provinces as a cold front moves into the country.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, the Thai Meteorological Department has issued a weather alert for 28 provinces, warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall. Residents and travelers in these areas are advised to remain cautious of potential flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in low-lying areas and regions near mountain slopes. The weather pattern is driven by a relatively strong high-pressure system from China, which is expected to cover upper Thailand. This system will lead to a decrease in temperatures accompanied by strong winds, starting in the Northeast. Meanwhile, the southern region is experiencing increased rainfall. Marine conditions are also affected, with stronger winds and waves in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. Waves in the lower Gulf of Thailand are expected to reach approximately 2 meters, with higher waves in areas experiencing thunderstorms. Mariners are urged to exercise caution and avoid sailing in stormy conditions. While the forecast provides a 24-hour outlook, the exact duration of the temperature drop and the specific intensity of rainfall in localized areas remain subject to ongoing monitoring by meteorological authorities. Travelers are encouraged to check local weather updates frequently before planning outdoor activities or maritime travel.
