Ahoy, weather adventurers! Get ready to grab your raincoat and boots because the clouds above Thailand are preparing quite the show. The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has rolled up its sleeves and issued a weather warning which basically translates to “pack an umbrella and maybe a snorkel.” It’s going to start raining cats and dogs, especially in the lush south, with a 40% chance, while the north, northeast, central, and eastern regions, including our dear Bangkok, brace themselves with a 60 to 70% possibility. Yes, there’s no escaping it—Raindrop Festival is here! In the next 24 hours, expect raindrops as big as mangoes in several provinces as the moderate southwest monsoon teams up with a low-pressure sneaky trickster over northern Vietnam. These two shifty culprits invite residents to stay on their toes for dangers related to heavy and accumulated rainfall. Got a sailboat? You might want to reconsider that sunset…
