Heavy Rainfall and Flash Flood Risks Across Thailand Due to Prevailing Monsoon Conditions

The Thai Meteorological Department warns of heavy rain and potential flash floods as the southwest monsoon progresses.

Heavy rainfall is anticipated across Thailand as the southwest monsoon continues to affect the Andaman Sea and western regions of the country, according to forecasts from the Thai Meteorological Department. Residents, particularly in the southern and upper regions, have been advised to remain vigilant, as heavy rain and water accumulation pose risks for flash floods and overflow incidents, especially in areas adjacent to foothills, waterways, and low-lying regions.

The prevailing weather pattern also includes southeasterly and southerly winds influencing the lower North, Northeast, Central region including the Bangkok metropolitan area, the East, and the Gulf of Thailand. Wind conditions in the South are reported to be moderate, producing waves in the Andaman Sea that may reach heights of 1–2 meters, and over 2 meters during thunderstorms. Vessels have been cautioned to navigate carefully and to avoid regions experiencing thunderstorm activity.

The weather forecast for the next 24 hours categorizes potential precipitation by region:
