Isolated heavy rains forecast for upper Thailand, South west coast
The upper North, upper Northeast and the South’s west coast will likely experience isolated heavy rains thanks to a monsoon trough as the southwest monsoon across the country, the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand intensifies, the Meteorological Department said on Thursday.
It warned people in upper Thailand to beware of severe conditions and accumulation of rain water that may cause flash floods.
The department also advised ships to proceed with caution and small boats to keep ashore as waves in the upper Andaman Sea are 2-3 metres high and will be more than 3 metres during thundershowers.
