An intense Thai weather monsoon, accompanied by low atmospheric pressure, is forecasted to sweep across the northern and upper northeastern regions of Thailand and extend its reach to the upper shores of Vietnam. The western monsoon is also expected to cover the Andaman Sea, lower northeastern region, central region, eastern region, southern region, and the Gulf of Thailand, causing continuous rainfall and heavy downpours in certain areas.
The Thai Meteorological Department warns residents in the affected regions to be vigilant of hazards from heavy rainfall and accumulated rain which may cause flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in sloping areas near waterways and lowland areas. Extra caution is advised when travelling through areas affected by thunderstorms.
