Meteorological Department Issues Final Heavy Rain Warning for Southern Thailand

The Thai Meteorological Department issued its final announcement regarding heavy to very heavy rain in Southern Thailand (effective through November 13, 2026), Announcement No. 10 (308/2026). On November 13, 2026, Southern Thailand continues to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall in some areas, particularly Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, and Surat Thani. Residents are warned of dangers from accumulated continuous rainfall which may cause flash floods and mudslides, especially in foothill areas near waterways and low-lying zones.

Regarding wind waves in the lower Gulf of Thailand, strength has weakened to moderate with waves around 2 meters high. Areas with thunderstorms may have waves exceeding 2 meters. Mariners in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea should check routes and navigate cautiously, avoiding areas with thunderstorms.

For upper Thailand, temperatures are rising with isolated rain, but cool conditions with morning fog persist in the North and Northeast. The public should monitor health due to changing weather, and farmers should protect crops from potential damage. This is due to a fairly strong high-pressure system or cold air mass covering upper Thailand and the South China Sea weakening, while the moderate northeast monsoon covers the Gulf of Thailand and the South.

For safety and to reduce potential impacts, the public is advised to plan daily activities and travel carefully during this period. Residents should continuously monitor announcements from the Thai Meteorological Department at https://tmd.go.th or call 0-2399-4012-13 and 1182, available 24 hours.
