Thai Meteorological Department Forecasts Thundershowers Across Thailand

Key summary

The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) forecasts thundershowers across 70% of Bangkok and surrounding areas from 6am on November 6, 2026, to 6am on November 7. A high-pressure system or cold air mass from China is influencing the weather, bringing easterly winds across the Gulf of Thailand, the country, and the Andaman Sea. Temperatures are expected between 24°C and 34°C with southeasterly winds of 10–20 km/h. The TMD advises people in upper Thailand to avoid open areas, shelter under large trees, and stay away from unsecured structures or billboards due to heavy rain, thundershowers, and gusty winds. Mariners in the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand are advised to navigate cautiously and avoid areas with thundershowers where waves may exceed two meters. Specific regional forecasts for November 6–7 include the Central region (70% coverage), North (60%), Northeast (40%), East (60%), and South (East Coast 60%, Gulf Coast, West Coast 60%). Southern Thailand is expected to receive increasing rainfall from November 7–13 due to strengthening easterly winds. Temperatures in the Central region will be 21–26°C minimum and 32–35°C maximum; in the North, 22–24°C minimum and 32–35°C maximum; in the Northeast, 22–24°C minimum and 32–35°C maximum; in the East, 23–25°C minimum and 32–34°C maximum.
