Heavy rainfall warning for north, northeast, central and east Thailand
The Thai Meteorological Department warns of heavy rainfall today, covering 70-80% of the regions in the north, northeast, central, east, and Bangkok areas. An intense monsoon trough is passing over Myanmar and Northern Laos, moving into a low-pressure area over northern Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin. This, combined with a moderate southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, will bring heavy rains in some areas of the northern, northeastern, central, and eastern regions.
