Thailand Issues Weather Warning: Heavy Rain and Temperature Drop Expected
The Thai Meteorological Department has issued a warning for heavy rainfall in the South and a significant temperature drop in upper Thailand from November 9 to 13, 2026.
The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has released its second announcement regarding severe weather conditions expected across the country between November 9 and November 13, 2026. According to the report, the southern region of Thailand is facing a period of continuous heavy to very heavy rainfall. Residents and travelers in these areas are advised to remain vigilant against the risks of flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in low-lying areas and regions near mountain slopes.
In addition to the rainfall, maritime conditions are expected to be hazardous. The TMD warns that waves in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand may exceed two meters in areas experiencing thunderstorms. Mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution and avoid navigating through storm-affected zones.
Meanwhile, upper Thailand is experiencing a shift in weather patterns. A cooling trend accompanied by strong winds is forecast, with temperatures in the Northeast expected to drop by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius. Similar cooling effects are anticipated across the North, Central region, Bangkok and its vicinity, and the East. While the meteorological outlook provides a clear timeline for these conditions, the specific intensity of the rainfall and the exact extent of the temperature drop in localized areas remain subject to ongoing monitoring by official weather authorities.
