Isolated heavy rain, strong wind forecast for East, South
Continuous rainfall is likely across the country, with isolated heavy rain and strong winds in the East and the South, The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Wednesday, advising people in risky areas to beware of the severe conditions.
It also warned all ships to proceed with caution and small boats to stay ashore as strong wind is likely to whip up 2-3-metre-high waves in the Andaman Sea and more than 3-metre-high waves in areas experiencing thundershowers.
Category 3 tropical storm Nangka is likely to move through Tonkin Bay into upper Vietnam and bring increasing rainfall to Thailand’s East and upper Northeast.
