Ubon Ratchathani sits on Thailand’s Isaan plateau in the country’s northeast, a comparatively dry region where the monsoon season from May through October still brings the bulk of the year’s rainfall, often concentrated into intense storms.
Where the Mun River meets the Mekong in Thailand’s far northeast, the city faces flood risk from both waterways during the wet season. Many of the region’s towns sit near the Mekong River, which forms much of Thailand’s border with Laos, and a wet monsoon season upstream can raise the river’s level significantly, making radar useful for tracking both direct rainfall and the river’s slower seasonal rise.
