Cool weather in upper Thailand with isolated heavy rains in the South
The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Sunday (November 14) that the active low-pressure cell covers the middle South of Thailand. It is expected to move to cover Andaman Sea by today while the rather strong northeast monsoon prevails across the Gulf of Thailand and the South.
Isolated heavy rains are likely over Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Narathiwat, Ranong, Phangnga, Phuket and Krabi.
"People should beware of the severe condition that may cause flash floods and overflows. Residents along the Gulf beware of inshore surge," the department said.
The rather strong wind forces the waves about 2 metres high in the Gulf and the Andaman Sea more than 3 metres high in thundershowers, and 1-2 metres high in the lower Andaman Sea.
"All ships should proceed with caution, and small boats keep ashore," the department said.
The weak high-pressure system covers upper Thailand, but it remains cool in the North and the Northeast, the department added.
