Thundershowers forecast across Thailand, isolated heavy rains in some areas
Thundershowers are likely over the country with isolated heavy rains in the North, the Northeast, the Central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, and the South’s west coast as a monsoon trough lies over these areas while the southwest monsoon prevails over the Andaman Sea, the South and the Gulf of Thailand, the Meteorological Department said on Wednesday.
It warned people in risky areas to beware of rain water accumulation that may cause overflows and flash floods.
The department also advised all ships to proceed with caution and keep away from areas with thundershowers as waves in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand are about 1-2 metres high and over 2 metres during heavy rain.
