Some areas in the northeast will experience very heavy rain as the monsoon trough shifts southward over Myanmar, Laos, and upper Vietnam. The southwest monsoon strengthens over the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand. Waves in the northern Andaman Sea will reach 2-3 meters, exceeding 3 meters in thunderstorm areas, while the southern Andaman Sea and upper Gulf see approximately 2 meters, exceeding 2 meters with thunderstorms.
Typhoon Bawei, currently in the Pacific Ocean, is expected to move through Taiwan on July 11-12. Travelers to that region should check weather conditions before departure.
Public Warning: Residents of Thailand, especially in the northern and upper northeastern regions, must exercise caution against dangers from heavy and accumulated rainfall that may cause flash floods, flash flooding, and overflowing riverbanks, particularly in foothill areas, near waterways, and in low-lying zones.
