11 provinces warned of floods, high waves

 

 

Two provinces in the lower Central and nine in the South have been warned of possible flash floods, landslides and strong wind waves, according to Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department director-general Chayapol Thitisak.

 

Mr Chayapol said the department’s warning is based on the Thai Meteorological Department’s weather forecast that during June 18-20 the southwest monsoon covering the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand will become stronger.

 

Waves in the Andaman Sea are expected to be 2-4 metres high and in the Gulf of Thailand 2-3 metres high. People are advised to take precautions against possible flash floods, landslides and strong wind waves in the face of accumulated rainwater.
