As per Skymet Weather, a low-pressure area is over the upper Gulf of Thailand and the South. This system is likely to give heavy rains over the southern parts of the country and thus people are advised to stay cautious of the possible flash flood.

In the wake of this weather system, heavy rains are expected to continue over the lower Central, the East, and the upper Southern parts of the country. The northern and northeastern parts of the country such as Lampang, Sukhothai, Phitsanulok, Phichit, Kamphaeng Phet, Tak, Chaiyaphum, Nakhon Ratchasima, Buri Ram, Surin, Si Sa Ket and Ubon Ratchathani will receive isolated thundershowers.

Moderate to heavy with isolated very heavy rains are expected in Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi, Samut Songkhram and Samut Sakhon. While the eastern parts of the country such as Chon Buri and Rayong. may brace for a cloudy weather with scattered rains.

On the other hand, the southern parts of the country such as Kanchanaburi, Samut Songkhram, Samut Sakhon, Bangkok and its vicinity, Rayong, Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, Ranong, Phangnga, Phuket, and Krabi are expected to be the worst affected areas.

These rains are likely to continue for at least another 48 hours and reduce thereafter as this low-pressure area is likely to move in a westward direction towards the Andaman Sea.

For the next 48 hours, northeasterly winds will continue with gusty winds at 20-30 kmph. The temperatures may also drop marginally leading to cold weather.
