The Meteorological Department reported that there will be continuous rain throughout Thailand, with heavy rain in some areas. Beware of flash floods and forest runoff. In the Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf of Thailand, the waves are quite strong. Small boats should refrain from leaving the shore. In Bangkok and its vicinity, there will be thunderstorms in 80% of the area.
The Meteorological Department forecasts the weather for the next 24 hours that Thailand will experience continuous rain and heavy rain in some areas, with very heavy rain in some areas of the lower North, the Northeast, the upper Central, and the East. This is because a rather strong monsoon trough is passing through the lower North, the upper Central, and the upper Northeast, entering the low-pressure cell over Hainan Island, China, coupled with a rather strong southwest monsoon blowing over the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the upper Gulf of Thailand. People in the aforementioned areas should beware of the dangers of heavy to very heavy rai
n and accumulated rain, which may cause flash floods and forest runoff, especially on hillsides near waterways and lowlands.
For the waves in the Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf of Thailand, they are quite strong with waves 2-3 meters high. In areas with thunderstorms, the waves are higher than 3 meters. The lower Gulf of Thailand has waves approximately 2 meters high. In areas with thunderstorms and far from shore, 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. Small boats in the Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf of Thailand should refrain from sailing from shore for another day.
