The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued a heavy rain warning for 36 provinces in southern Thailand, with heavy to very heavy rain forecast in some areas. The downpours are expected to affect up to 70% of the region on Sunday, with thunderstorms particularly impacting the western parts of the North and Central regions.
Residents are advised to be cautious of flash floods and forest runoff, especially in foothill areas, near waterways, and low-lying communities. The weather conditions are influenced by a high-pressure system and cold air mass from China, as well as strengthening easterly winds over the Gulf of Thailand, the South, and the Andaman Sea.
Mariners are advised to navigate with caution and avoid sailing in stormy areas, as waves in areas experiencing thunderstorms could exceed two meters.
