Daily Weather Forecast
Announcement Date 18 May 2026
General Situation
18 May 2026The rather strong southwest monsoon prevaills over the upper Andaman Sea and Thailand while the low pressure cell covers the coast of upper Vietnam. Isolated heavy rains are forecast in the North, the Northeast and the Cenral while isolated very heavy rains are possible in the East and the South (west coast). People should beware of heavy to very heavy rains and accumulation that may cause flash floods and overflows, especially along waterways near foothills and lowlands. The rather strong wind forces the waves in the upper Andaman Sea up to be 2–3 meters high and above 3 meters high in thundershowers. In the lower Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf, the waves are expected to be about 2 meters high and above 2 meters high in thundershowers. All ships should proceed with caution and keep off thundershowers, small boats in the upper Andaman Sea keep ashore.
