Thai Meteorological Department issues heavy rain warning across Thailand for May 20-21
The Thai Meteorological Department has issued announcement No. 10, alerting citizens across Thailand to prepare for heavy to very heavy rainfall. This weather condition is expected to persist from May 20 to 21, which may impact travel and the daily lives of people in many areas.
The cause of this heavy rainfall is the influence of monsoons covering Thailand, leading to high humidity and scattered thunderstorms in many provinces. Residents living in high-risk areas should be cautious of dangers from flash floods and forest runoff, especially in areas near mountain slopes and waterways.
Furthermore, the Thai Meteorological Department advises the public to closely monitor weather forecasts through the agency's official channels to receive real-time updates on weather changes and to prepare for preventing potential damage to property and residences during the heavy rain.
Regarding when the rain situation will begin to ease, the agency will continue to monitor and assess the situation. It is expected that after May 21, rainfall in some areas may begin to decrease, but it is still necessary to remain vigilant and not be complacent about weather changes.
We urge the public to take care of their health and keep their bodies strong during this period of frequent weather changes, as well as to check travel routes before leaving home to ensure safety while commuting amidst the unfavorable weather conditions at this time.
