Storm Watch in Pattaya Residents and tourists prepare for sudden heavy showers as the Meteorological Department warns of possible flooding and rough seas along the Gulf coast.

PATTAYA, Thailand – While Northern provinces brace for heavy rain and possible flash floods, the Meteorological Department warns southern regions and coastal areas, including Pattaya, to prepare for scattered heavy showers.



Swells in the Gulf of Thailand could reach over 2 meters in stormy areas, prompting authorities to advise local fishermen and boat operators to exercise caution. Residents and visitors in Pattaya should stay alert for sudden downpours and possible localized flooding, especially in low-lying or drainage-prone zones.

The warning comes as a low-pressure system covers northern Thailand and parts of Myanmar, bringing unstable weather conditions across the country. Citizens are urged to monitor local forecasts and follow official safety updates.
