Severe weather warning issued for 40 Thai provinces
Thailand’s Meteorological Department has warned of severe weather tomorrow, with thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds forecast across 40 provinces, with the northeast among the worst-affected regions.
Over the next 24 hours, the upper part of Thailand will experience hot daytime weather. Rainfall is set to increase in the northeast and east, with thunderstorms, strong winds, and occasional hail forecast for the lower north, northeast, central, and eastern areas.
The unsettled conditions are driven by a low-pressure heat system over upper Thailand, combined with stronger southerly and southeasterly winds drawing moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Residents should avoid open spaces, large trees, unstable structures, and billboards. Farmers are advised to reinforce fruit trees and take steps to protect crops and livestock. With hot weather persisting, maintaining good health is also recommended.
In the south, scattered thunderstorms are expected due to southeasterly winds over the Gulf of Thailand, the southern region, and the Andaman Sea. Waves will reach about 1 metre, rising above 2 metres in stormy conditions. Mariners in both the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea should exercise caution and avoid sailing in thunderstorm-prone areas.
Air quality in the upper part of Thailand remains at a good level thanks to effective ventilation. The forecast covers the period from 6pm today to 6pm tomorrow.
