Weather forecast Thailand
- Thread starter Franz
- Start date
With a prediction for a bad rain depression inbound in the next few days, I thought it might be an idea for an update on weather apps & rain forecasts.
As posted by Franz the Thai TMD , Thailand Meteorological Department is my go-to when out on the road riding.
It is live from the airport radars and clearly shows the inbound/outbound rain, in relation to where you are riding.
The Top North & Chiang Rai
Chiang Mai
I even see one for Mae Hong Son now that I I never knew existed before
The lower North
Central N-E Khon Kaen
Far N-E Sakhon Nakhon

A weather alert for this storm says
Urgent! 69 hours left TropicalStormWipha before the storm breaks through the monsoon trough to Burma! Warning for a huge mass of water throughout Southeast Asia, especially near the center - China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Burma. Watch out for severe influences! It is expected that before making landfall in Vietnam, the maximum wind speed may be 109 kilometers per hour before gradually weakening. When entering Laos, it may be just a depression and may weaken into a low pressure area covering the northern part of Thailand during July 21-25, 2025. For the risk areas, the northern, northeastern, eastern, central, and southern regions, the average rainfall in the northern region is 20-300 mm within 24 hours, the northeastern region is 10-100 mm within 24 hours (focusing on near the center).
It is expected that Tropical Storm Wipha will have a mass of water that is several times larger than Typhoon Yangi from the information updated now. Do not panic, do not worry, prepare yourself. Keep rice, dry food, generators, flashlights, candles, lighters, medicines, and valuables in a safe place. Avoid the northern region. Upper Northeast, Upper Central, Schools, Educational Institutions, Hospitals, Disaster Relief Agencies Must Prepare Australia's ACC Weather Forecast Model, European ECMWF Track Tag Weather Forecast
Windy is also another very popular weather app
Zoom Earth is also beautiful.

I love the Zoom Earth live satellite view

For floods & flooding, use the Thaiwater.net site to see the highest rainfall in the lat 24 hours ++

Good luck to everyone in the coming days & 2025 wet season.

Tropical Storm Wipha July 2025.
The North's top rainfall in the last 24 hours.
There's a massive amount of water coming down the Nan River.
Pua is flooded; Nan is getting flooded.
The water in Pong will go into the Yom, so Phrae.
Some water off R1148 goes into Chiang Kham-Thoeng-Wiang Kaen.
Wiang Kaen already has some flooding.
On the positive side, the Mekong is not necessarily high at Chiang Khong, so the water from the Ing (Phayao & Thoeng) can flow out, not be backed up for weeks, like last year.

Another tip for Mekong flood alerts is to consult the MRC Mekong River Commission for water levels.

One of the weather apps I use is Rain Alarm (in addition to TMD weather radar website).
The Privacy Policy for the web browser app version states:
Ive been using the app for years and its less invasive and lighter weight than some alternatives.
Rain Alarm
This weather app warns you when rain is currently nearing. Instead of forecasting it warns using almost real-time data, which is more precise than any forecast can be. It is an useful assistant for everything outdoors like cycling, biking, hiking, gardening, BBQ, picnics, dog walking, home...
