Briefings

NASA Earth Observatory reports that Thailand experienced severe flooding in late September and early October 2026, affecting 50 provinces and over 4 million people. The event was driven by a stalled low-pressure system over the Gulf of Thailand, resulting in heavy rains that inundated agricultural and aquacultural lands. Specific data indicates approximately 270,000 hectares of farmland were damaged, with Bangkok receiving nearly 300 millimeters of rain in a 48-hour period. The images provided are false-color satellite views acquired via Landsat data, showing floodwaters and floating solar arrays.

Key points

• Thailand's 50 provinces were affected by flooding in late September and early October 2026, impacting over 4 million people and causing dozens of deaths.
• Approximately 270,000 hectares of farmland, including rice fields and fruit orchards, were damaged in the affected provinces.

Context and limitations

The evidence covers only late September and early October 2026, with specific data limited to the Bang Pakong River area and Bangkok rainfall totals. Some casualty and damage figures are reported by external organizations rather than NASA Earth Observatory.
