The Meteorological Department has announced that there will be heavy rain in some areas of the central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the eastern region, and the southern region.
The Meteorological Department forecasts the weather for the next 24 hours. The monsoon trough will move up across the upper southern and eastern regions, entering a low-pressure cell over the coast of central Vietnam. In addition, the easterly and southeasterly winds will 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 heavy rain in some areas of the central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the eastern, and southern regions. People in Thailand should be careful 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. The Andaman Sea will have waves approximately 1 meter hig
h, while the Gulf of Thailand will have waves less than 1 meter high. In areas with thunderstorms, waves will be higher than 2 meters. Sailors in the aforementioned areas should avoid sailing in areas with thunderstorms.
