From November 5 to 7, upper Thailand will experience severe weather with thunderstorms, strong gusts, and isolated heavy rain, impacting the Northeast first, followed by the North, Central region including Bangkok and its vicinity, and the East. The public is urged to beware of dangers from thunderstorms and strong winds, and to avoid open areas, large trees, and unstable billboards.
From November 7 to 9, the South will see increased rainfall with heavy rain in many areas and very heavy rain in some. The public is warned of accumulated rain that may cause flash floods and landslides, especially in foothill areas near waterways and low-lying areas. This is due to a high-pressure system or another cold air mass from China extending over upper Thailand and the South China Sea, strengthening easterly winds over Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand.
In the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, waves will exceed 2 meters in thundershower areas. Mariners in the Gulf and Andaman should navigate with caution and avoid sailing in thundershower areas.
For safety and to reduce impacts, the public is asked to plan daily activities and travel carefully during this period.
