Rain and thundershowers forecast across upper Thailand and South

Rain and thundershowers with isolated heavy rain are expected across the upper country and the South, while cool mornings are likely in the North, the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) reported on Sunday (November 2).

The active monsoon trough lies across the upper South and the East, extending into an active low-pressure cell over the middle South China Sea, with easterly and southeasterly winds prevailing over the North and Central regions. Meanwhile, a weak high-pressure system covers upper Thailand.

Farmers are advised to take precautions against potential crop damage. People in upper Thailand and the upper South are urged to maintain their health amid the variable weather and to remain alert to heavy rain and possible water accumulation.

Moderate winds and waves in the upper Andaman Sea are forecast to reach one to two metres, rising above two metres in thundershowers. In the Gulf of Thailand and the lower Andaman Sea, waves are expected to be around one metre high, rising above two metres during thundershowers.
