Subject: Heavy
to very heavy rain in Thailand,
Strong
Wind-Waves in the Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf
No. 1 (217/2023)
----------------------------
The southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea, Thailand
and the Gulf will strengthen. Meanwhile, the weak monsoon trough will lie
across upper Myanmar and upper Laos into the low-pressure cell over upper
Vietnam. More rains are likely in the whole country and isolated heavy to very
heavy rains are possible in the North, the Northeast, the Central, the East and
the South regions. People should beware of heavy to very heavy rains 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 Andaman Sea and 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 11 August 2023,
at 5.00 p.m.
This
next issue will be on 12 August 2023, at 5.00 a.m.
