Thailand’s Meteorological Department (TMD) says most of the country is in for stormy showers and overcast weather for the next two days.
Only the North-East is expected to escape the wet weather, which is the result of a southwesterly trough, along with southeast winds in the north-east of the country.
All other regions can expect thundery rain showers and in coastal areas, waves may reach 2 metres in height during stormy weather.
In the south, 60% of areas on the west coast can expect thunderstorms over the next two days.
The TMD has also issued a warning to travellers headed to Korea in the coming days, as Typhoon Mitag, which has now been downgraded to a tropical storm, is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain. However, it is not expected to affect weather in Thailand.
