Strong monsoon brings rain and warnings for the south of Thailand!

A strong monsoon is imminent: the south of Thailand has to prepare for increased rainfall. Current news from Nation of Thailand are reporting heavy rains that have already begun in some areas. The weather situation is serious and residents are advised to exercise caution. A significant increase in rainfall is expected in the lower regions of the country, which could lead to possible flooding.

The northeast monsoon has strengthened over the Gulf of Thailand, the south and the Andaman Sea. This brings not only rain but also dangerous sea conditions. In the lower Gulf of Thailand, wave heights of two to three meters can be expected, and during thunderstorms the waves can even reach heights of over three meters. The upper Gulf of Thailand and the offshore Andaman Sea are also affected; here the wave height is around two meters, which also increases during thunderstorms.

Important safety warnings

Sailors should take particular caution and be aware that small boats should not sail in the lower Gulf of Thailand. Residents on the East Coast of the South should be aware of breaking waves and take appropriate precautions. The autumn blues are moving through, and short-term accumulations of dust and haze in upper Thailand could also occur. However, this situation should soon improve with stronger winds.

Further heavy rainfall is expected over the next few days and the public is urged to monitor weather reports closely. It is important to be prepared to avoid potential dangers and to follow the advice of local authorities wherever possible. Nation of Thailand will continue to monitor the situation and provide regular updates.

For the people here in Thailand it's now time to be careful and respect the monsoon! It can quickly happen that the sky darkens and the weather conditions change. Stay safe and take all necessary precautions.
