Thai Meteorological Department Issues Final Warning for Heavy Rainfall in Southern Provinces
The Thai Meteorological Department has issued its final warning regarding heavy to very heavy rainfall affecting southern Thailand, urging residents and travelers to remain vigilant against flash floods.
On November 13, 2026, the Thai Meteorological Department released its tenth and final weather advisory concerning severe conditions in the southern region. The report highlights that heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected to persist throughout the day, specifically impacting the provinces of Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, and Surat Thani. Authorities have issued a strong warning for residents and visitors in these areas to be cautious of potential flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in low-lying regions and areas near mountain slopes.
For those traveling by sea, conditions in the lower Gulf of Thailand have begun to moderate, with wave heights currently averaging around two meters. However, in areas experiencing thunderstorms, waves may exceed two meters. Mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution and avoid navigating through storm-affected zones. Meanwhile, northern and northeastern Thailand are experiencing rising temperatures, though cool weather and morning fog persist. The shift in weather is attributed to a weakening high-pressure system over upper Thailand. Residents and travelers are encouraged to monitor official updates from the Meteorological Department regularly. It remains to be confirmed how quickly the weather will stabilize in the affected southern provinces as the current advisory period concludes.
