Thundershowers forecast for most of Thailand
The Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Monday (September 14) that the southwest monsoon prevails over the Andaman Sea and Thailand, resulting in thundershowers continuing over the whole country with isolated heavy rains in the East and the South.
People in risky areas should beware of the severe conditions, the department cautioned.
With moderate winds and waves in the Andaman Sea likely to be 1-2 metres high and above three metres high during thundershowers, ships have been advised to proceed with caution and avoid thundershowers, while small boats should keep ashore.
