Weather Forecast
Weather Outlook During 18 – 24 May 2026During 18 - 21 May 2026, the rather strong southwest monsoon prevails across the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf while low-pressure cell cover upper Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin. Continuous rainfalls and isolated heavy to very heavy rains are forecast in the western part of the North and the Central, the upper Northeast, the East and the South. The rather strong winds force the waves in the upper Andaman Sea up to be 2 - 3 meters high and above 3 meters high in thundershowers. In the upper Gulf, the waves are expected about 2 meters and above 2 meters in thundershowers. During 22 - 24 May 2026, the southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf will weaken. Less rains are likely in the country but isolated heavy rains are possible in the western part of the North, the Central and the South. The weakening winds and waves in the upper Andaman Sea are expected about 2 meters high, 1-2 meters high in the lower Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf and above 2 meters high in thundershowers.
