to very heavy rain in Thailand,
Strong
Wind-Waves in Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf
No. 1 (185/2023)
----------------------------
During 16-20 July, the strong monsoon trough will move down to the
North, the Northeast and the upper Central of Thailand into the active low-pressure
cell over the upper South China Sea. Meanwhile, the rather strong southwest
monsoon prevails across the Andaman Sea, the South and the Gulf. More rains are
likely in the whole country and isolated heavy to very heavy rains are possible
in the North, the Northeast, the Central including Bangkok and its vicinity,
the East and the South regions. People should beware of severe conditions that
may cause flash floods and overflows, especially, along water ways and lowland and
take more caution in thundershowers.
The rather strong wind forces the wave up to 2-3 meters high in
the Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf and above 3 meters high in thundershowers
while the waves in the lower Gulf are 1-2 meters high and above 2 meters high
in thundershowers. All ships should proceed with caution and
keep off thundershowers. Small boats in the Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf keep
ashore. Please stay tuned for the weather update.
This advisory is in effect on 14 July 2023, at
5.00 a.m.
This next issue will be on 14 July 2023, at 5.00 p.m.
