The department attributed the weather conditions to a southwesterly trough passing through the North, Central, East and South and southeast winds in the Northeastern region, causing most of Thailand to see more rain and cloudy weather.
The department also warns anyone planning to travel to Korea on October 2-3 to monitor the local forecast, as Typhoon Mitag, now downgraded to a tropical storm, is moving from eastern China towards Korea bringing strong winds and heavy rain. The typhoon will have no direct effect on Thailand’s weather.
