Thailand weather alert: 41 provinces to face heavy rain and storms
TMD urges caution with flood risk rising
The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued a weather warning for June 9, forecasting thunderstorms and heavy rain across Thailand, impacting 41 provinces, including Bangkok. Residents should be cautious of potential flash floods and sudden deluges, especially in vulnerable areas.
This weather pattern is attributed to a moderate monsoon trough passing over the upper northern region and Laos, connecting to a low-pressure area on the northern coast of Vietnam. Additionally, a strong southwest monsoon prevails over the Andaman Sea and southern Thailand.
