Meteorological Department Unveils Advanced Rain Radar and Cumulative Rain Forecasts for Thailand
Heading: Meteorological Department provides 10-day rain forecast with advanced radar
Subheading: Thailand’s heavy rain continues; caution advised for potential floods
September 30, 2023 – The Meteorological Department has taken a significant step in weather forecasting by opening its rain radar ten days in advance. This new feature provides daily cumulative rain forecasts from September 30 to October 9, 2023. Thailand is still expected to experience heavy rainfall during this period. Particularly, the northern region needs to be cautious about the risk of floods and flash floods. It is essential to stay updated with the latest monsoon patterns.
Subheading: Rain radar images and daily forecasts available on Weatherradio Facebook page
The Meteorological Department has made the ten-day rain radar images and daily cumulative rain forecasts accessible to the public. These updates can be found on the Weatherradio Facebook page. The forecast reports, updated every 24 hours, provide valuable information in planning and preparedness for the upcoming weather conditions.
As of September 30, 2023, heavy rain is anticipated in several northern regions, particularly in the western areas near the low-pressure system in Myanmar. This situation demands vigilance as heavy rainfall can lead to flash flooding and the accumulation of water. It is crucial to exercise caution and be prepared for unexpected weather events.
The rainfall in other regions has started to decrease slightly; however, it is still possible. The central area of Thailand is currently experiencing the monsoon trough’s effects, while the southern region may witness rainfall, primarily on the monsoon side. The wind waves are expected to ease in the bay, although moderate waves may persist in the Andaman Sea.
Subheading: Rainfall to persist in the lower central, eastern, and upper southern regions
From October 1 to 5, 2023, the monsoon trough is projected to extend across the lower central region, including Bangkok and surrounding areas, the eastern region, and the upper southern region. Moreover, it will merge with a low-pressure system near the coast of Vietnam in the South China Sea. Therefore, rainfall is likely to persist along this trough and in proximity to the low-pressure area. Caution should be exercised to prevent any adverse consequences from accumulated rainfall.
Subheading: Tropical Storm “KOINU” forms in the Pacific Ocean, no immediate impact on Thailand
Between October 6 and 9, 2023, a tropical depression in the Pacific Ocean has intensified, transforming into Tropical Storm “KOINU.” This storm is currently projected to move northwest, initially towards Taiwan, and then along the coast of China towards Hainan Island. As the storm approaches upper Vietnam, it is expected to weaken. Fortunately, Thailand is not likely to be directly affected by the storm at this time.
However, it is crucial to note that this information is subject to change as new data becomes available. Moreover, the occurrence of the El Niño phenomenon this year may alter rainfall patterns and storm behavior. Therefore, it is essential to rely on accurate and up-to-date information provided by the Meteorological Department for making well-informed decisions and preparations.

It is expected to weaken when it reaches upper Vietnam. There is no impact on Thailand at this time.
However, such information may change according to new data imported. Under the conditions of the year the El Niño phenomenon occurs which causes rain and storms to change Used for decision making
