10 southern provinces warned of flash floods

Residents of ten southern provinces were warned of heavy rains and possible flash floods Sunday.

In its morning forecast issued at 4 am, the Meteorological Department said a low-pressure mass over the Gulf of Thailand and the southern region would unleash heavy rains in Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, Krabi, Trang and Satun.

Strong winds would also cause the waves in the sea down from Surat Thani to be as high as 2 metres, the department said.
