Heavy rain forecast across Thailand, North faces worst of storms

Thailand is bracing for heavy rain across much of the country over the next 24 hours, with very heavy rain possible in parts of the North, Northeast, and East regions. The Meteorological Department has issued a warning, attributing the monsoon trough stretching across the upper North and upper Northeast to a low-pressure cell over the Gulf of Tonkin.

Strong southwest monsoon winds are currently prevailing over the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, with waves expected to strengthen and reach 2-3 meters during thunderstorms. Boaters are advised to exercise caution and avoid areas experiencing thunderstorms.
