Heavy rainfall in the northern and northeastern regions of Thailand is attributed to the influence of a robust monsoon trough, merging with a low-pressure system over the Gulf of Tonkin, and interacting with the southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Residents in these affected areas are strongly advised to exercise caution due to the potential for substantial and accumulating rainfall. This could result in flash floods and landslides, particularly in regions characterized by hilly or low-lying terrain.
Furthermore, the forecast predicts strong winds and elevated waves in the upper Andaman Sea and upper Gulf of Thailand, with wave heights reaching 2-3 meters or even higher during thunderstorms. Small boats navigating these waters should be particularly cautious.
While Typhoon Haikui has now moved away from Taiwan and is heading towards the southern coast of China, it is not expected to directly impact Thailand’s weather. However, travelers planning to visit affected areas are encouraged to monitor weather conditions closely, as the typhoon may cause travel disruptions and delays.
