Meteorological Department Issues Final Warning: Unsettled Weather Continues Tomorrow with Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Across Northern and Southern Thailand
Thailand's Meteorological Department warns of continued heavy rain, strong winds, and thunderstorms across northern and southern regions through May 10, with flash flooding risks and damage potential from severe weather.
On May 10, 2025, the Thai Meteorological Department announced Weather Advisory No. 11 (60/2569) regarding unstable atmospheric conditions affecting Thailand through May 10. Northern Thailand will continue experiencing thunderstorms, strong gusty winds, and heavy rainfall in some areas, particularly in the North. Cooler air temperatures are expected as high-pressure systems and cold air masses from China move over the Northeast and South China Sea, combined with southerly and southeasterly winds carrying moisture from the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea into upper Thailand.
Easterly winds strengthening over the South and Gulf of Thailand will bring heavy rainfall to some areas in the southern region. Residents are advised to stay alert for dangers from thunderstorms and strong winds by avoiding open areas, large trees, weak structures, and unstable billboards. Heavy rainfall may cause flash flooding and forest runoff. Farmers should reinforce fruit trees and prepare to protect agricultural products and livestock. The public is encouraged to monitor their health during this weather transition period.
Forecast for the next 24 hours: Northern Thailand will continue experiencing thunderstorms in 70% of areas with strong gusty winds and heavy rainfall, particularly in Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Nan, Phayao, Tak, Mae Hong Son, Lamphun, and Lampang provinces. Minimum temperatures 21-24°C, maximum 32-37°C, with southeasterly winds 10-15 km/h.
The Northeast will be hot with 20% thunderstorm coverage, mainly in Loei, Nong Bua Lamphu, Chaiyaphum, Nakhon Ratchasima, Buriram, Surin, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani. Temperatures 22-25°C minimum, 34-36°C maximum, with northeasterly winds 10-30 km/h.
