Summary
A monsoon trough crossing Myanmar and upper North Thailand is feeding into a low pressure area over upper Vietnam. At the same time, a fairly strong southwest monsoon is blowing across the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand.
The department has warned residents in affected areas to watch for accumulated rainfall that could trigger flash floods and forest runoff, particularly near foothills, waterways, and low lying areas. Riverbanks in the northeast are also at risk of overflowing.
