The wind department has issued flash flood warnings for 15 regions where thunderstorms are forecast for Monday.

The Meteorological Department advised residents of 11 northern regions and four eastern provinces on Monday to be on the lookout for potential flash flooding. People living near hills and in low-lying places near waters should be on call. A monsoon trough’s impact on the Gulf of Thailand’s middle region caused heavy rain to fall.

The only warning time was a day long.

Northern provinces are on alert, including:

  • Ayutthaya
  • Chachoengsao
  • Kanchanaburi
  • Nakhon Nayok
  • Nakhon Pathom
  • Phetchaburi
  • Prachuap Khiri Khan
  • Prachin Buri
  • Ratchaburi
  • Samut Sakhon
  • Samut Songkhram

Southeast regions are:

  • Chanthaburi
  • Chon Buri
  • Rayong
  • Trat
