Despite widespread alerts and patchy thunderstorms across the country, the popular coastal city on the Eastern Seaboard continues to enjoy relatively stable weather. According to the Meteorological Department, upper Thailand is experiencing light rainfall due to a weakening southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. A low-pressure cell covering northern Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin is contributing to unsettled conditions elsewhere, but Pattaya and its surrounding areas have so far avoided disruption. The Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand are both seeing weak wind and wave activity. While isolated thunderstorms are expected in some coastal zones, waves are only 1–2 meters high in the upper Andaman Sea, increasing beyond 2 meters in areas with thunderstorm activity. However, no such threats have been reported in Pattaya, and marine operations remain normal. In contrast, Bangkok and the surrounding provinces are seeing a 20% chance of thunderstorms. The north and northeast regions are also expected to experience scattered showers, while the eastern and southern coastal areas continue to monitor unstable maritime conditions. Yet, none of these warnings currently apply to Pattaya, where local businesses and tourism activities continue uninterrupted. Local authorities advise residents and tourists to remain informed but not alarmed, as no specific alerts have been issued for Chonburi province.
