Heavy rain and strong winds forecast in southern Thailand, TMD warns
Thai Meteorological Department forecasts heavy rain, strong winds, and high waves in the South, while upper Thailand remains cool with light rain.
The monsoon trough lies across the upper South, the Gulf of Thailand, and the East into a low-pressure cell over the lower coast of Vietnam. Meanwhile, a moderate high-pressure system from China covers the Northeast.
Less rain is expected in upper Thailand, though isolated heavy rainfall remains likely in the South. Cool morning conditions are expected in the upper North and the Northeast.
Farmers are advised to take precautions against crop damage, while residents in upper Thailand and the upper South should protect their health due to fluctuating weather and beware of heavy rain and possible flash floods.
Moderate winds and waves are expected in the upper Andaman Sea, about two metres high and exceeding two metres in thundershowers. In the upper Gulf of Thailand, waves are forecast at one to two metres high, rising above two metres during storms.
Additionally, typhoon “Kalmaegi” is moving over the middle South China Sea during November 6–7 and is expected to make landfall over central Vietnam. The storm is forecast to weaken into a tropical storm and then a tropical depression thereafter.
