Bangkok: The Meteorological Department has issued a warning about the likelihood of heavy rain affecting parts of northern Thailand, including regions in the North, Northeast, Central, and East. Additionally, certain areas in the South are expected to experience thunderstorms. Notably, Bangkok and its surrounding vicinities are anticipated to encounter thunderstorms 70% of the time, with some areas experiencing particularly heavy rainfall.
According to Thai News Agency, the weather forecast for the next 24 hours indicates significant rain in various parts of upper Thailand. Residents in affected provinces are advised to remain vigilant due to potential dangers posed by heavy and accumulated rainfall.
In southern Thailand, thunderstorms are predicted in select locations. This weather pattern is attributed to a moderate southwest monsoon influencing the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, alongside a low-pressure cell situated over northern Vietnam.
Maritime conditions are also affected, with moderate waves expected in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Waves in the upper Andaman Sea may reach around 2 meters in height, while those in the lower Andaman Sea and upper Gulf of Thailand are projected to be between 1-2 meters. Thunderstorm-affected areas may see waves exceeding 2 meters. Sailors operating in these waters are advised to proceed with caution and avoid regions experiencing thunderstorms.
In Bangkok, thunderstorms are expected to cover 70% of the area, with some areas facing heavy rainfall. The forecast predicts minimum temperatures between 24-25 degrees Celsius and maximum temperatures ranging from 32-34 degrees Celsius.
