Don’t get caught in a downpour: many parts of Thailand will experience isolated heavy showers until next week (September 1 to 6) due to a moderate southwest monsoon prevailing over the country, the Andaman Sea and the Gulf, the Meteorological Department said on Thursday.
From September 4-6, the monsoon trough will cover the North and the Northeast, resulting in isolated heavy to very heavy rains throughout the country, the department announced.
It warned people to beware of rain accumulation that may cause flash floods and overflows, especially along waterways near foothills and lowlands.
Meanwhile, waves in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf will likely be about 2 metres high and above 2 metres during thundershowers until next Wednesday. All ships are advised to proceed with caution and steer clear of areas experiencing thundershowers.
