Bangkok is forecast to see heavy rain with a 70% probability, while strong winds and rough seas will occur in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.

People in Nan, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Trat, Ranong and Phang Nga are advised to be vigilant against flash floods, landslides, and rising water due to heavy rain, especially in the foot of mountains and low-lying areas near rivers and streams.

Waves in the North East Sea and the Gulf of Thailand are forecast to be 2-3m high, possibly exceeding 3m when there are thunderstorms. The South Andaman Sea will have waves about 2m high, increasing by over 2m in the storm area. Fishermen are advised to be cautious and avoid going into thunderstorms; small boats in the North East Sea of Andaman and the North Gulf of Thailand should temporarily stop going out to sea.
