Bangkok, The Meteorological Department has announced that Thailand will continue to experience thunderstorms and heavy rain in some areas of the North, Northeast, Central, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the East, and the West Coast of the South.
The Meteorological Department forecasts that in the next 24 hours, Thailand will continue to have thunderstorms and heavy rain in some areas of the North, Northeast, Central, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the East, and the West Coast of the South. People in the aforementioned areas should be careful of the dangers of heavy rain and accumulated rain, which may cause flash floods and forest runoff, especially on hillsides near waterways and lowlands. This is because the southwest monsoon still covers the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, along with a low-pressure cell in the upper part of Vietnam.
For the upper Andaman Sea area from Ranong Province upwards, the sea has waves 1-2 meters high. In areas with thunderstorms, the waves are higher
than 2 meters. Sailors in the aforementioned areas are asked to sail with caution and avoid sailing in areas with thunderstorms during this period.
