Rains ease across country but North to see isolated heavy showers
Less rain is likely across Thailand but the North will still experience isolated heavy showers as the southwest monsoon prevailing over the country, the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand is weakening, the Meteorological Department said on Thursday.
It warned people in the North especially to beware of severe conditions that may cause flash floods.
The department also advised all ships to proceed with caution and small boats to stay ashore as waves in the upper Andaman Sea are 2-3 metres high and more than 3 metres during thundershowers.
As for tropical storm “Lupit”, the department said it is presently over the coast of southern China and expected to move towards Taiwan from August 6 to 7 but will not affect Thailand.
