It stated that from 26 to 30 July 2026, Thailand will experience heavy rain in some areas and very heavy rain in parts of the eastern region and the western side of the southern region.

The public is urged to be cautious of the dangers from heavy to very heavy rain and accumulated rainfall, which may cause flash floods and forest runoff, especially in foothill areas near waterways and low-lying regions.Tags: [Heavy Rain, Monsoon, Flood Warning, Thailand]
