The North is expected to experience less rainfall, with only scattered showers in some areas.
Winds and waves in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand are forecast to reach about one metre in height, increasing to over two metres during thundershowers. The TMD urged all vessels to exercise caution and avoid sailing in areas affected by thunderstorms.
