Heavy rain and thunderstorms forecasted across parts of Thailand

The weather forecast for Thailand over the next 24 hours shows that westerly winds will continue to dominate the northern region, leading to reduced rainfall. However, there will still be sporadic thundershowers in some areas.

Meanwhile, northwesterly and southwesterly winds will prevail over the Andaman Sea, the southern region, and the Gulf of Thailand, resulting in increased intensity of thundershowers and heavy rain in some parts of the south. As a result, waves in the Andaman Sea are expected to reach heights of 1-2 metres, while areas affected by thundershowers can see wave heights exceeding 2 metres. Caution is advised for mariners in the Andaman Sea and areas prone to thundershowers.

During this period, the accumulation of dust particles and smog remains minimal across Thailand due to ongoing rainfall in some areas and good air circulation.
