Thailand anticipates widespread thunderstorms and heavy downpours on Tuesday, with isolated very heavy showers expected in the northeast, east, and along the southwestern coast.
Bangkok and its suburbs are forecast to experience scattered thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening, affecting approximately 60% of the region.
Rough seas and strong winds are predicted for the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, with waves up to 3 meters, advising small vessels to stay ashore.

Thailand secures US$200m World Bank loan for clean energy and low carbon cities
Today 09:24Key points summarised by AI
Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
