Thundershowers are expected to affect most regions of Thailand, with the southern parts experiencing particularly heavy rainfall. This weather pattern is influenced by southerly and southeasterly winds that bring moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.
Weather Conditions Across Thailand
Regional Breakdown
The North, Northeast, Eastern, and Central regions, including Bangkok, will see hot days punctuated by isolated thunderstorms. These conditions are due to the prevailing winds that carry moisture into these areas. Meanwhile, the South will experience more intense weather, with isolated heavy to very heavy rains expected. Waves in the Gulf of Thailand are likely to be between 1-2 meters high, rising above 2 meters during thunderstorms.

Precautions and Safety Measures
Farmers are advised to take precautions to protect their crops and animals from potential damage caused by the changing weather. The general public should also be mindful of their health during this period and beware of severe weather conditions. In the South, residents should be cautious of flash floods and forest runoff, especially in areas near waterways.
Weather Outlook for the Coming Days
Forecast for the Next Week
From Sunday to Tuesday, a moderate to strong high-pressure system from China will extend into the Northeast of Thailand, while a westerly trough from Myanmar will move through the North, Northeast, and upper Laos. This will result in hot days with thunderstorms, gusty winds, hail, and lightning strikes in some areas of the upper country. The South will continue to experience isolated heavy to very heavy rains, with waves potentially reaching 2-3 meters high during thunderstorms.
