Meteorological Department Issues 13th Warning: Heavy to Very Heavy Rain in Several Provinces, Andaman Sea Waves 2-3 Meters High

29 July 2026, websiteMeteorological DepartmentAnnouncement on heavy to very heavy rainfall in Thailand (effective until 30 July 2026), 13th edition.

It states that during 29-30 July 2026, many areas in Thailand will experience heavy rainfall, with some places seeing very heavy rain in the northern, northeastern, central, eastern, and western southern regions. This is due to a monsoon trough crossing northern and northeastern Thailand combined with a fairly strong southwest monsoon covering the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. Residents are advised to be cautious of dangers from heavy to very heavy rain and accumulated rainfall, which may cause flash floods and landslides, especially in foothill areas near waterways and low-lying regions.

The upper Andaman Sea has fairly strong winds with waves 2-3 meters high, and waves exceeding 3 meters in thunderstorm areas. The upper Gulf of Thailand and lower Andaman Sea have waves about 2 meters high, rising above 2 meters during thunderstorms. Fishermen in the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand should navigate with caution and avoid areas with thunderstorms. Small boats in the upper Andaman Sea should refrain from leaving shore during this period.

For safety and to minimize potential impact, residents are advised to plan their activities and travel carefully during this time. The public should follow updates from the Meteorological Department and can access information on their website.http://www.tmd.go.thOr contact 0-2399-4012-13 and 1182, available 24 hours.
