The Thai Meteorological Department has issued a warning for unsettled weather conditions anticipated from October 19th to 21st across the country. A cold front from China will bring thunderstorms and heavy rainfall to upper Thailand, while the southern regions will continue to see rain.
This cold air will combine with moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, impacting the northern, northeastern, and central areas. The southern monsoon trough is expected to cause particularly heavy rainfall in central and eastern provinces. Residents in the northern, northeastern, and central regions should be alert for thunderstorms, heavy rain, strong winds, and flash floods, especially in low-lying and mountainous areas. The eastern and southern coasts are likely to experience the heaviest downpours, increasing the risk of flash floods and landslides. Coastal regions, especially those along the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, may see waves reaching up to two meters during thunderstorms.
People are advised to refrain from outdoor activities during storms and stay vigilant about flood risks. Fishermen should avoid venturing out to sea in areas experiencing thunderstorms, as wave heights are expected to increase significantly.
The Thai Meteorological Department encourages the public to stay informed about weather warnings and forecasts through its website or by calling 1182.
