Thailand Issues Weather Warning: Heavy Rain in South and Cooling Temperatures Nationwide

The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has released its third announcement regarding severe weather conditions expected between November 9 and 13, 2026. Residents and travelers in Southern Thailand are advised to prepare for continuous heavy to very heavy rainfall, which carries a risk of flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in low-lying areas and near mountain slopes. Furthermore, maritime conditions in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand are expected to be hazardous, with wave heights exceeding two meters in areas affected by thunderstorms. Mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution and avoid sailing through storm-affected zones.

Simultaneously, upper Thailand is experiencing a shift in weather patterns due to a strong high-pressure system from China. Temperatures in the North and Northeast are forecast to drop by 3–5 degrees Celsius, while the Central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, and the East can expect a decrease of 1–3 degrees Celsius accompanied by strong winds. The public is encouraged to monitor health during this cooling period, and farmers are advised to take precautions to protect their crops. Travelers should plan their itineraries carefully and stay updated with official TMD announcements to ensure safety during this period of volatile weather.
