Bangkok: The Meteorological Department revealed that the upper part of Thailand will still have thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail. In the South, there will be heavy rain in some areas.
According to Thai News Agency, the upper part of Thailand will continue to experience thunderstorms, strong winds, hail, and heavy rain in some areas, including lightning that may occur in some areas. People in the aforementioned areas should be careful of the dangers of the thunderstorms that will occur. They should avoid traveling through areas with thunderstorms and routes that have recurring flooding problems, especially low-lying areas with limited drainage, which may cause short-term flooding because drainage may not be convenient.
Residents are also advised to avoid open areas, large trees, and weak structures. Farmers should take precautions to protect their crops and livestock, and pay attention to health during the changing weather. This weather pattern is due to a moderate high-pressure area from China affecting the region, bringing moisture from the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea. Despite the storms, some areas in the North will still be hot.
In the South, heavy rain poses risks of flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in areas on hillsides near waterways and lowlands. The moderate southwesterly wind affects the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, causing waves between 1-2 meters high, and higher in stormy areas. Sailors are advised to exercise caution and avoid thunderstorms.
Dust and smog levels in the upper part of Thailand are low to moderate, expected to decrease or remain constant due to ongoing rainfall in several areas.
