The weather advisory, issued today (July 14) by Wanchai Sakudomchai, Director-General Thai Meteorological Department, warned residents to be especially aware of danger from heavy and continuous rain for the coming days.

The warning forecast that the heavy weather is set to continue until next Wednesday (July 19).

Waves along the Andaman coast were predicted to reach heights of up to three metres. All ships were ordered to proceed with caution while smaller boats were advised to stay ashore.

The warning also cautioned those in the North, Northeast and Central parts of Thailand to brace for heavy rains as a long low-pressure front beset those areas.
