Thai Meteorological Department Issues Heavy Rain and Rough Sea Warning for Southern Thailand

The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has released its fifth weather warning, effective from November 10 to 13, 2026, regarding heavy to very heavy rainfall across Southern Thailand. According to Khaosod Online, the accumulation of rainfall during this period poses a significant risk of flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in low-lying areas and regions near mountain slopes. Residents and travelers in these areas are advised to remain vigilant and monitor local updates closely. In addition to the rainfall, sea conditions in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea are expected to intensify. The lower Gulf of Thailand may experience waves reaching heights of 2 to 3 meters, with potential for waves exceeding 3 meters in areas affected by thunderstorms. Mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution, and small boats in the lower Gulf are advised to remain ashore. Meanwhile, a high-pressure system from China is bringing cooler, windy conditions to much of Thailand, with some thunderstorms and gusty winds expected in the upper North. Farmers are encouraged to take precautions to protect their crops from potential damage caused by the shifting weather patterns. While the TMD has provided these forecasts, the specific intensity and exact path of the weather systems remain subject to change, and individuals should follow official guidance for ongoing safety.
