strong southwest monsoon prevails over the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf

very heavy rains and accumulation that may cause flash floods, overflows and

Sea, the waves are expected about 2 meters high and above 2 meters high in
thundershowers. All ships in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf should proceed with
caution and keep off thundershowers, small boats in the upper Andaman Sea
and
the upper Gulf keep ashore.
