Thai Meteorological Department warns of heavy rain across Thailand, urges caution regarding strong winds and waves from August 30 – September 2
The Thai Meteorological Department has issued a warning for citizens to prepare for heavy rainfall in many areas across Thailand, particularly in the North, Northeast, and South, which are being affected by volatile weather conditions between August 30 and September 2.
For areas in the North and Northeast, the public is advised to be vigilant against dangers from accumulated rainfall, which may cause flash floods and forest runoff, especially in foothill areas and regions near waterways. Residents in these areas should closely monitor news from government agencies 24 hours a day.
Regarding coastal areas, particularly in the South, the Thai Meteorological Department has warned of strong winds and waves at sea, with waves expected to reach heights of over 3 meters. Mariners and marine tourism operators should exercise increased caution when navigating, and small boats should refrain from leaving the shore during this period for safety reasons.
Relevant agencies have mobilized personnel to continuously monitor the situation in high-risk areas to ensure timely assistance to the public in case of emergencies. Citizens can follow the latest weather forecasts and warning announcements through the Thai Meteorological Department's channels to prepare for the weather conditions accurately and safely.
