The Thailand Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued storm warnings for 35 provinces throughout Thailand, with Bangkok anticipated to experience the most significant impact, as approximately 80% of the area is expected to be severely affected. The public is strongly encouraged to stay vigilant, as the heavy rainfall could lead to sudden flash floods.
The 24-hour weather forecast commencing on October 12 indicates that a high-pressure system, or a cool air mass originating from China, will dominate the northeastern region and the South China Sea. This will result in a monsoon trough sweeping over the Gulf of Thailand and the southern region. As a consequence of this weather pattern, there will be thunderstorms and heavy precipitation in various areas, including the central region, Bangkok and its surrounding areas, the eastern region, and the southern region.
Residents in these areas are advised to exercise caution due to the potential dangers associated with heavy and accumulated rainfall, which may lead to sudden flooding and runoff, particularly in hilly areas close to water bodies and low-lying regions. In the northeastern part of the country, thunderstorms are anticipated in approximately 20% of the region, with a particular focus on Nakhon Ratchasima, Buriram, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani provinces. Temperature ranges will be between 22-25 degrees Celsius at the lowest and 32-33 degrees Celsius at the highest, with a northeastern wind speed of 10-20 kilometers per hour.
