The Meteorological Department has predicted heavy rainfall and thunderstorms across 55 provinces on Friday. This weather pattern is attributed to the monsoon trough interacting with a low-pressure system in Laos and Vietnam, along with the strengthening southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand.
Anticipated thunderstorms and heavy rain are likely in the Northeast, East, Bangkok, and its surrounding areas. Residents in these regions are advised to prepare for potential flash floods. Caution is advised for all vessels navigating the Andaman Sea and the Gulf.
Bangkok, specifically, is forecasted to face heavy rainfall covering 80% of its area until Saturday.
