PHUKET: The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) this morning issued a warning of strong wind and waves with heavy rain for Phuket and other areas along the Andaman Coast for tomorrow and Friday (Aug 16-17).

 

“The strong southwest monsoon prevails across the Andaman Sea, the South and the Gulf leading to isolated heavy rain likely in the South. Flash flood is possible for the South where heavy rain occurs,” TMD Director-General Wanchai Sakudomchai noted in the warning.

 

“All ships should proceed with caution, and small boats keep ashore. People along the coast should beware of inshore surges,” he added.
