Thundershowers with isolated heavy rains forecast for most of Thailand
The North, the Central region, the East and the South are all likely to experience isolated heavy showers as a monsoon trough lies over the upper North while the strong southwest monsoon prevails across the country, the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, the Meteorological Department said on Thursday.
It warned people to beware of the severe conditions that may cause flash floods. The department also advised all ships to proceed with caution and small boats to keep ashore as waves in the upper Andaman Sea are 2-3 metres high and more than 3 metres during thundershowers.
