Heavy thunderstorms and flash flood warnings across Thailand
Intensifying conditions prompt renewed alerts for landslides and storm surges
Weather conditions over the next 24 hours in Thailand are expected to include widespread thunderstorms with heavy rain in certain areas.
Residents are advised to remain cautious of potential flash floods, forest runoff, and landslides, especially in hilly areas, lowlands, and regions near watercourses.

In areas with thunderstorms, waves can exceed 2 metres. Mariners are advised to navigate with caution and avoid areas with thunderstorms. The weather forecast is valid from 6am today until 6am tomorrow.
