PHUKET: The Thai Meteorological Department has issued a weather warning for Phuket and other provinces along the Andaman coast as the wet weather is set to continue through Friday (Dec 4). As a precaution, the TMD warned of heavy rain and flash floods in the region.

 

 

 

“The strong northeast monsoon prevails over the Gulf of Thailand and the South and the low-pressure cell covers the lower South of Thailand, which is forecast to move westward into the Andaman Sea on 3 December,” the TMD said in its warning issued earlier today (Dec 2).

“Heavy to very heavy rains are likely in the South. People in risky areas should beware of the severe conditions that may cause flash floods and water runoff,” it added.

The weather has been pretty awful this "high season" so far. But with no tourists replenishing the water reserves is probably more important for now.

Should help with the local domestic water shortage...
