The Thai Meteorological Department yesterday warned eight southern provinces to prepare for storms, as a Thai petroleum company evacuated workers from an oil rig.

Narathiwat, Pattani, Yala, Songkhla, Phattalung, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Satun and Trang could expect over 100mm of rain, gusty winds and high seas, it said.
