TMD warns monsoon brings rain to 70% of the North, storms in Bangkok

TMD says a moderate southwest monsoon and a low-pressure cell over upper Vietnam will bring heavy rain to parts of four regions and storms to Bangkok.

  • The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) forecasts that a monsoon will bring rain to 70% of northern Thailand, with some areas experiencing isolated heavy downpours.
  • Bangkok and its vicinity are expected to have thundershowers covering 60% of the area.
  • The weather is caused by a moderate southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, combined with a low-pressure cell over upper Vietnam.
  • The public is warned of potential flash floods and forest runoff, while mariners are advised to be cautious of waves that could exceed 2 metres during thundershowers.

The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) forecast weather conditions for Sunday (June 14, 2026), warning that the monsoon would bring rain across Thailand throughout the day.

The North was expected to see the highest rainfall coverage at 70% of the area, while Bangkok and its vicinity were forecast to have thundershowers.

In its 24-hour forecast, the department said isolated heavy rain was expected in the North, Northeast, East and South.

This was due to a moderate southwest monsoon moving across the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand, together with a low-pressure cell over upper Vietnam.

People in these areas were advised to prepare for heavy, prolonged rain, which could trigger flash floods and forest runoff, especially in high-risk areas near waterways and lowlands.

In the upper Andaman Sea, waves were expected to be moderate at 1-2 metres high.

In the lower Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, waves were forecast at about 1 metre, rising to more than 2 metres in thundershowers.

Mariners in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand were advised to proceed with caution and avoid sailing in areas affected by thundershowers.
