PHUKET: The weather warning issued for Phuket and the Andaman coast remains in effect today (Sept 18), with the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) urging people to beware flash floods and landslides.

 

Strong winds will accompany rough seas reaching two to four metres high in the Andaman Sea, with waves up to four metres high in thundershower areas, the notice warned.

 

“All ships should proceed with caution, small boats do not venture out, and people along the seashore keep off the inshore surge,” the warning added.

"Small boats do not venture out" does that mean are banned from going out or advised from going out.

When (eventually) walking my dogs along the beach this morning, I was suprised to see presumably dive boats (?)  heading out.

 

Presumably/hopefully they know that the storms have died down for the rest of today.
