BANGKOK, 7 August 2015 – The low pressure trough currently moving across Laos to the North of Thailand is bringing heavy rains to the upper part of the country until the end of this week.

Weather warnings have now been extended to the East Coast as the low pressure system is approaching Thailand. A south westerly win remains strong in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.

Those living in Nong Khai, Bung Kan, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Trat, Ranong, Pang Nga and Phuket provinces have been advised to brace for unpleasant weather and flash floods. Small fishing vessels should be kept ashore as sea conditions are not ideal at present.

Meanwhile, rain has been predicted for approximately 40% of Bangkok and its vicinity today and tomorrow.
