Concurrently, the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued a weather warning for September 22, as heavy rainfall is forecast to affect 45 provinces across Thailand, including Bangkok.
The intensified monsoon system, partly influenced by Typhoon Ragasa, is expected to bring thunderstorms and possible flooding to much of the north, northeast, central, and eastern regions. The south will see lighter, scattered storms, but rough seas are expected in coastal areas.
Typhoon Ragasa, currently east of the Philippines, is projected to move into the South China Sea and approach northern Vietnam between September 25 and 26, weakening gradually but still impacting Thailand’s weather systems during this period.
Residents are urged to monitor forecasts and exercise caution due to the risk of flash flooding and strong winds, especially in areas with steep terrain or poor drainage.
