Heavy to Very Heavy Rain in upper Thailand
No.7
(174/2026)
----------------------------
During 29
August – 2 September 2026, the monsoon trough will move to lie
across the North and the upper Northeast into an active low-pressure cell over
the coast of upper Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin. Meanwhile, the rather strong
southwest monsoon prevails over the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf. More rains and isolated heavy to very
heavy rains are forecast in Thailand especially in the western part of the North and the Central, the upper part and the eastern part of the Northeast
and the East regions. People in the country should beware of heavy to very heavy rains and
accumulation that may cause flash floods, overflows and landslides especially along the waterways near
foothills and lowlands.
The rather
strong wind forces the waves in the upper Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf up to 2-3
meters high and above 3 meters high in thundershowers. In the lower Andaman
Sea, the waves are expected about 2 meters high and above 2 meters high in
thundershowers. All ships in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf should proceed with
caution and keep off thundershowers, small boats in the upper Andaman Sea and
the upper Gulf keep ashore.
The advisory is in effect on 29 August
2026, at 5.00 p.m.
This next issue will be on 30 August 2026, at 5.00 a.m.
