Phuket’s Marine Office issued a stern warning to all boat operators due to the approaching turbulent weather, especially at sea. This advisory comes as the Thai Meteorological Department predicts strong wind, large waves and heavy rainfall in the upper Andaman Sea from tomorrow through Saturday.

 

The forecast, delivered by Nachapong Pranit, Director of Marine Office 5 Phuket Branch, suggests that the southwest monsoon over the upper Andaman Sea and Southern Thailand’s west coast is set to intensify. This change in weather is likely to bring about substantial rain, with some areas experiencing extremely heavy downpours that are set to be most affected including the provinces of Ranong, Phang Nga, Phuket, and Krabi.

 

In light of these developments, the Marine Office warning urges residents to remain vigilant of the severe conditions. Forecasts predict wind waves in the upper part of the Andaman Sea reaching heights of 2 metres, and up to 3 metres in thundershower areas – unsafe for most boats.
