Summer storm hits Thailand: Heavy rain, Strong winds in Bangkok (2025)

Thai Meteorological Department’s Weather Forecast for April 27, 2025

Upper Thailand will experience summer storms characterized by thunderstorms, gusty winds, hail, and occasional lightning. Residents in affected areas are advised to beware of the dangers posed by summer storms and avoid travelling through areas prone to thunderstorms or locations with recurring floods.

Farmers should reinforce fruit trees and prepare measures to protect agricultural products and livestock from potential damage.

People are also advised to take care of their health during this period of weather change.

This situation is due to a moderately high-pressure system from China spreading over Vietnam and the South China Sea, causing a convergence of southeasterly and southwesterly winds over the North and Central regions of Thailand.

Meanwhile, upper Thailand continues to experience hot to very hot weather.

For the lower South of Thailand, heavy rainfall is expected in some areas due to the influence of southwesterly and southeasterly winds covering the Andaman Sea, southern Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand.

Waves in the Andaman Sea are expected to reach about 1 metre, and in areas with thunderstorms, waves could exceed 2 metres. Mariners in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea are advised to avoid sailing in areas with thunderstorms.

Special caution is advised for low-lying areas where drainage is limited, potentially causing short-term flooding due to poor water discharge.

Additionally, people should avoid open spaces, being under large trees, unstable structures, and unsecured billboards.
