Accumulated rainfall and flash flood warnings for the South
The strong northeast monsoon across the Gulf Thailand will bring heavy rain to the South while strong winds will whip up wave height to 2 metres, going up to 3 metres during storms, the Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Wednesday (November 27).
Ships are advised to proceed with caution. Run-off from downpours will drain slowly and flash flooding on the Gulf side of the coast is likely.
The moderate high pressure system keeps upper Thailand dry but cool with minimum temperatures of 15-21 °C and frost in some parts. It will be cold to very cold on mountaintops with minimum temperatures of 5-15 °C.
The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is as follows:
