Read place and issue time together
Thailand's regions, coasts and mountains can have different conditions. Keep the forecast area, issue time and validity period with the text rather than applying one city observation to an entire province.
Thai Meteorological Department data
The Thai Meteorological Department publishes observations, forecasts, warnings, radar imagery and earthquake information. Choose the product that matches the question: a radar image shows recent precipitation movement, while a forecast or warning addresses a future period and wider area.
Radar is short-range evidence
Radar helps show where precipitation has recently been detected and how it is moving. It is not a guarantee that one neighbourhood will remain dry, and terrain or coverage can affect the image.
Warnings take priority
For heavy rain, storms, high waves or other hazardous conditions, use the current TMD warning and relevant local authority instructions. An older forecast should not override a newer warning.
