Bangkok Morning Clears Up After Overnight Rain, Water Pumping at Full Capacity

Bangkok reports that the overnight rain clouds have passed. This morning the sky is clearing, with rain showers becoming more spaced out and further apart, but water levels in main canals remain high. Authorities are pumping water into the Chao Phraya River at full capacity.


On 28 Sep 2026, the fan pageBangkok Metropolitan Administrationshared radar weather images with the message: Checking this morning’s rain—overnight rain clouds have passed. Pumping at full capacity continues to lower water levels in main canals.

At 6 a.m. on 28 Sep 2026, the sky began to clear after moderate rain (46 mm) fell overnight. Currently, there are no large rain clouds in nearby provinces moving into Bangkok. Rain showers are becoming more spaced out and increasingly distant.

Water levels in main canals (Saen Saep, Prawet Burirom, and Prem Prachakorn Canals) remain high because they receive water from smaller canals.

Bangkok is working at full effort daily, pumping water into the Chao Phraya River continuously to reduce water levels. This 24-hour operation allows water in smaller canals and branches to flow into main canals, which are seeing reduced levels, enabling smaller canals to drain as well.

Flooding on road surfaces is gradually decreasing, provided no additional rain falls.

There are still reports of flooding at several main road locations. Check route coordinates via this link: https://now.bangkok.go.th/flood-alert.html (Real-time updates).

Data from Bangkok Flood Prevention Center on 28 September 2026 at 6:00 a.m.: Light rain in Nong Chok district moving northeast; highest accumulated rainfall recorded at Lat Krabang with 46.5 mm.
