Heavy rainfall warning for 37 provinces in Thailand
Flood risk grows as officials track strengthening storms across regions.
The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) issued another warning for heavy rainfall affecting 37 provinces due to a moderate southwest monsoon. Bangkok is expected to experience significant rainfall, covering 60% of the area. Residents are advised to remain cautious.
The weather forecast for the next 24 hours predicts thunderstorms and heavy rains in certain areas across Thailand. This is attributed to the moderate southwest monsoon affecting the Andaman Sea, the Gulf of Thailand, and the presence of a low-pressure system over the northern coast of Vietnam.
In the Andaman Sea, moderate waves are expected, with waves reaching approximately 2 metres high in the northern part. Areas experiencing thunderstorms may see waves exceeding 2 metres. Fishermen and those navigating these waters should exercise caution and avoid sailing in storm-affected regions.

The northeastern region will see thunderstorms covering 40% of the area, with heavy rain in Mukdahan, Yasothon, Roi Et, Amnat Charoen, Surin, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani.

In the central region, 40% of the area is expected to have thunderstorms, particularly in Uthai Thani, Saraburi, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi, and Ratchaburi.
