The Southern Meteorological Center, Eastern Shore, issued Announcement No. 5 warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall across the eastern southern region from October 26 to 28, 2026. During this period, the eastern southern region will see increased rain and thunderstorms, with heavy rain in many areas and very heavy rain in some locations.
Specifically, on October 26, heavy rain is expected in parts of Chumphon Province, while very heavy rain is forecast for parts of Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces. From October 27 to 28, very heavy rain is likely in Chumphon, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat.
Authorities urge the public to beware of dangers from thunderstorms, strong gusty winds, heavy to very heavy rainfall, and accumulated precipitation, which may trigger flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in foothill areas near waterways and low-lying areas. The monsoon trough strengthening over the south, combined with easterly winds covering the Gulf of Thailand and the southern region, is driving the severe weather. In the Gulf, waves exceed two meters in thunderstorm areas; mariners should proceed with caution and avoid sailing in storm-affected zones.
