Isolated heavy rains forecast for the Northeast, East and South
The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Saturday that a rather strong southwest monsoon prevails over the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand, while a low pressure cell covers upper Vietnam.
Isolated heavy rains will be likely in the Northeast, the East and the South of Thailand. People in these areas should beware of the severe conditions that may cause flash floods, the department said.
Waves in the upper Andaman Sea are 2-3 metres high and more than three metres high during thundershowers. All ships should proceed with caution and small boats should keep ashore, the department said.
