Anticipate the arrival of easterly and southeasterly onslaughts in the lower Northeast and Eastern ridges of Thailand. These meteorological forces not only stir the currents of the Andaman Sea but also spread their influence to the western regions of the country. They are a manifestation of the subtle southwest monsoon making its presence felt across these swathes of land.
For those residing in the affected regions, it’s crucial to brace for the cascading rain that threatens to inundate your peace. It’s a set-up for possible flash floods and threatening overflows, adding more woes to the already brewing turmoil. The greatest concern lies within the foothills that hug the waterbodies and the vulnerable lowlands, as they are susceptible to the accumulated wrath of the monsoon.
Road navigators too need to heed this caution, minding their way during the thunderous showers. Trudging through such treacherous conditions could make them run the risk of unforeseen mishaps.
While navigating through the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, sailors need to look out for waves towering around 1 metre high. However, the real threat lurks in the thundershowers where waves growl and rise to 2 metres in height. All captains must navigate their ships with utmost caution, avoiding those perilous thundershowers.
Here’s the list of provinces that feel the whip of the thundershowers:
In the North, feel the burst of rain in Mae Hong Son, the drumming echo in Chiang Mai, the pouring frenzy in Chiang Rai, Phayao, the wet abundance in Nan, Uttaradit, and Tak, and the storm chill in Kamphaeng Phet, Phitsanulok, and Phetchabun.
Travel towards the Northeast, and you will witness the rain-dance in Loei, Chaiyaphum, Khon Kaen, Kalasin, Maha Sarakham, Roi Et, and Mukdahan. Further down, soak in the downpour in Yasothon, Amnat Charoen, Nakhon Ratchasima, Buriram, Surin, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani.
Slither down South, and you will notice the monsoon vibe in Saraburi, Ayutthaya, Suphan Buri, Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi, Nakhon Pathom, Samut Sakhon, Samut Songkhram and the throbbing heart of the country – Bangkok metropolitan area.
Linger in the East, and feel the monsoon magic in Sa Kaeo, Chachoengsao, Chonburi, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat.
