On November 1, 2026, the Thai Meteorological Department issued a 24-hour forecast indicating scattered thunderstorms across Thailand, particularly in the North, Northeast, Central, and South regions. The public in these areas is advised to beware of dangers from thunderstorms. The conditions are driven by easterly winds covering the Gulf of Thailand, Thailand, and the Andaman Sea, while a high-pressure system over upper Thailand and the South China Sea has weakened.
For the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, areas with thunderstorms will see waves higher than two meters. Mariners should check routes, proceed with caution, and avoid sailing in storm-hit zones.
