The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has sounded the alarm, sending a ripple of anticipation shivering across 42 provinces, including the vibrant heart of Bangkok. As the clock nudges from afternoon toward the evening, residents have been advised to baton down the hatches in preparation for a thorough soaking. The sky seems to be plotting an encore of heavy showers for the upcoming week, with thunderstorms queuing to make their grand entrance across northeastern, eastern, and western southern regions of Thailand. The celestial drama unfolds as a moderate southwest monsoon sweeps across the Andaman Sea, colluding with a monsoon trough languidly draped over upper Myanmar and Laos, converging into a low-pressure tableau in northern Vietnam.
Out on the briny blue, the Andaman Sea is experiencing waves swaying with moderate gusto, rising approximately 2 meters high, while the Gulf of Thailand bobs with 1-meter waves. Mariners, stalwarts of the sea, are cautioned to tread gingerly over these aqueous giants, steering clear of stormy tantrums. Between June 7 and June 11, Thailand’s skies are expected to open up even more, potentially releasing torrents in localized downpours. The Andaman Sea and the Gulf shall witness a strengthening of winds, with the Andaman Sea waves prancing between 2 and 3 meters, and the Gulf galloping between 1 and 2 meters. In the tempestuous areas, waves may flaunt their excess, towering beyond 3 meters. This aquatic upheaval is courtesy of a moderate monsoon trough painting across the northern, northeastern, and upper central realms of Thailand, seeded by a low-pressure whirlwind in the central South China Sea, and bolstered by a beefy southwest monsoon enveloping the Andaman Sea, lower central, southern, eastern regions, and the ever-vital Gulf of Thailand.
