Thailand on Alert: Heavy Rains, Flood Risks, and Tropical Storm Threaten Upper Regions
PHNOM PENH, September 1, 2026 – A heavy rain warning is in effect for upper Thailand as the Meteorological Department forecasts severe weather through September 2, with northern, central, upper northeastern, and eastern provinces facing the highest risk of flooding and runoff.
Residents in flood-prone areas near hills and waterways have been advised to remain vigilant. In the upper Andaman Sea, rough seas with waves up to 3 metres or higher during storms pose a risk to small vessels, which have been advised to stay ashore.
Tropical Storm Soulik has gained strength over the northern South China Sea and is expected to approach Taiwan by September 3–4. While the storm is not forecast to enter Thailand, travellers to the affected region have been urged to check weather updates before departure.
