October 14: Heavy rain and winds to hit 47 Thai provinces
TMD warns of monsoon trough & flooding risk across Central and Southern Thailand
The Thai Meteorological Department has issued a weather forecast for today, October 14, warning of heavy rain and erratic winds across 47 provinces, including Bangkok and its surrounding areas. The capital region is expected to experience significant rainfall, covering 70% of the area.
The meteorological conditions are influenced by a trough of the monsoon traversing the lower central region, the upper southern region, and the east. This is further compounded by the southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea, the lower southern region, and the Gulf of Thailand, alongside southeast winds bringing moisture from the South China Sea over the northeast region.
