Thailand anticipates widespread heavy downpours, with continuous severe rain expected across multiple regions including the north, northeast, central, east, and south, affecting 70% of Bangkok.
The Thai Meteorological Department attributes these conditions to a monsoon trough, low-pressure cells, and a strong southwesterly monsoon impacting the Andaman Sea and Gulf.
Residents are advised to prepare for potential flash floods and dangers from accumulated rain, especially in mountainous areas and near waterways.
Rough seas with waves up to 3 meters are forecast for the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, prompting a warning for small vessels to remain ashore until Sunday.
