The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued a continuous rain forecast today for 48 provinces, including the capital city of Bangkok. The most severe conditions are found in the southern region, where heavy rainfall is affecting 60% of the area, leading to the likelihood of sudden flash floods and forest run-off.
An area of high atmospheric pressure and a cool air mass currently dominates the upper part of Thailand and the South China Sea. This atmospheric pattern is causing east and southeast winds to sweep across the lower northeastern region, the central region (including Bangkok and its surroundings), and the eastern region. Consequently, the upper part of Thailand is still experiencing thunderstorms, with heavy rain occurring in some areas in the central and eastern regions.
In the northeastern region, approximately 40% of the area is experiencing thunderstorms, particularly in provinces such as Nakhon Phanom, Chaiyaphum, Khon Kaen, Maha Sarakham, Roi Et, Yasothon, Mukdahan, Amnat Charoen, Nakhon Ratchasima, Buriram, Surin, Si Sa Ket, and Ubon Ratchathani. The temperature ranges from 22 to 25 degrees Celsius for the lowest and 32 to 34 degrees Celsius for the highest, with easterly winds blowing at speeds of 10 to 20 kilometers per hour.
