The Meteorological Department warns that during 19-21 Oct 2024, Thailand will experience more thunderstorms, heavy rain in many areas, and strong winds in some areas.
The Meteorological Department forecasts the weather for the next 24 hours. The monsoon trough passes through the upper southern and eastern regions, entering a low-pressure cell in the lower part of Vietnam. In addition, the easterly and southeasterly winds bring moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand to cover the lower northeastern, central, including Bangkok and its vicinity, and the eastern region. This will cause some areas in the lower northeastern, central, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the eastern, and southern regions to experience heavy rain. People in Thailand should beware of the dangers of heavy rain and accumulated rain, which may cause flash floods and forest runoff, especially in areas on hillsides near waterways and lowlands.
For the Andaman Sea, waves are approximately 1 meter high, while the Gulf of
Thailand has waves lower than 1 meter. In areas with thunderstorms, waves are higher than 2 meters. Sailors in the aforementioned areas are advised to avoid sailing in areas with thunderstorms.
In addition, during 19-21 October 2024, another high-pressure area or cold air mass from China will spread down to cover the upper North, upper Northeast and the South China Sea. This will cause easterly and southeasterly winds to bring moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand to cover the upper part of Thailand. Meanwhile, the monsoon trough will pass through the central South. This will cause Thailand to have more thunderstorms and heavy rain in many areas, with strong gusts of wind in some areas.
