Vicious Rainstorms Await North and Northeast Thailand
Torrential downpours sweep through Thailand, officials issue flood hazard alerts
Brace yourselves, Northerners and Northeasterners! The monsoon season's got plenty of heavy rain in store for you!
The monsoon trough has moved northward, settling above the upper North of Thailand and extending into upper Laos. This bad boy is connectin' with a low-pressure system over Vietnam, as reported by the Thai Meteorological Department. That's right; we're lookin' at some pretty heavy rainfall!
While the moderate southwest monsoon keeps on hummin' in the Andaman Sea, Southern Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, this weather whirlwind is bound to bring isolated, heavy to extremely heavy rains to the high-altitude regions of the country. That's not all! The North and Northeast can expect very heavy rains!
Now, here's the kicker: with all that rainfall, there's gonna be some flood action. The public should stay aware of potential heavy to very heavy rainfall and water accumulation. Y'all know what that means—flash floods and the risk of overflows near rivers, hills, and low-lying areas!
For all you farmers out there, it's time to gear up by improvising drainage systems in agricultural areas. This'll help reduce any damage to your crops and livestock!
The modest winds in the upper Andaman Sea are makin' some seriously chunky waves, reachin' heights up to 2 metres! Meanwhile, waves in the lower Andaman Sea range between 1 and 2 metres. During thunderstorms, those waves can exceed 2 metres, so watch out!
All seafarers, beware! Ships sailin' in the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand should take it easy, avoiding thunderstorm areas. Those sailin' in the upper Andaman Sea should probably stay put 'til conditions clear up.
Lastly, the low-pressure cell near India's coast should weaken soon, minimizing its impact on Thailand's weather. Keep an eye on the skies, and whatever you do, be weather-wise!
