Bangkok: The Meteorological Department has issued a warning of heavy rainfall anticipated to impact Bangkok, its surrounding areas, and several other regions in the Northeast, Lower Central, Eastern, and Southern parts of the country.
According to Thai News Agency, the forecast predicts heavy rain in specific areas as a result of a monsoon trough influencing the Lower Central, Upper Southern, and Eastern regions. Additionally, a prevailing southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea, Lower Southern, and Gulf of Thailand is exacerbating the situation, along with southeasterly winds carrying moisture from the South China Sea into the Northeastern region.
Residents in these vulnerable areas are urged to remain vigilant against potential thunderstorms, significant rainfall, and water accumulation. Precautionary measures such as carrying umbrellas or raincoats and exercising caution when traveling through waterlogged zones are advised. Mariners navigating the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand should also be cautious, as wave heights could rise above 2 meters during thunderstorms.
The regional weather forecast for October 14, 2025, indicates that thunderstorms will affect 70% of Bangkok and its vicinity, with some areas experiencing heavy rain. The temperature in the capital is expected to range from a minimum of 24-25 degrees Celsius to a maximum of 31-34 degrees Celsius, with variable winds blowing at 10-20 km/h.
