Rain in Songkhla: What You Need to Know
Songkhla is home to Hat Yai — the largest city in southern Thailand and the commercial capital of the deep south. Hat Yai sits in a natural bowl ringed by hills, and the northeast monsoon delivers rain that the terrain has nowhere to drain quickly. The city has experienced severe flash flood events, most notoriously in 2000, 2010, and 2011, when floodwater reached 1–2 metres in the commercial district. Even in non-catastrophic years, downpours in November and December flood Hat Yai's streets within hours.
The northeast monsoon is the dominant weather driver here — not May to October like most of Thailand, but October to January. Generic weather apps that display a Thailand-wide forecast during this period dramatically underestimate what's happening in Songkhla.

Why You Need a Rain Radar in Songkhla
Timing movement through Hat Yai during northeast monsoon
Residents and visitors checking the radar before moving through the commercial centre can identify when to wait and when to move during breaks in the rain band.
Crossing to Malaysia via Sadao or Padang Besar
Highway 408 south to the Sadao border crossing is heavily used by trade and tourism traffic. Checking the radar before a border run is standard practice for regular crossers.
Managing the Hat Yai fresh market and wholesale operations
Vendors and logistics managers use radar to time loading windows and protect goods.
Songkhla Rain Radar: Frequently Asked Questions
- How often does the RainViewer map update for Songkhla?
Every 5 minutes. During northeast monsoon events when Hat Yai can flood within an hour, this provides the most actionable information.
- Why does Songkhla get its heaviest rain in November and December when Bangkok is dry?
The northeast monsoon drives moisture from the Gulf of Thailand directly onto Songkhla's eastern coast. Bangkok is shielded from this system by geography.
