No. 13 (73/2026)
----------------------------
During 19–21 May 2026 the rather strong southwest monsoon prevails
over the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf while the low-pressure cell covers
the coast of upper Vietnam. More rain and isolated heavy to very heavy rains
are forecast in the western part of country, the North, the upper Northeast,
the Central, the East and the South (west coast) regions. People in the areas
should beware of heavy to very heavy rains and accumulations that may cause
flash flood and overflows, especially along foothills near waterways and
lowlands.
The rather strong wind forces the waves in
the upper Andaman Sea up to be 2–3 meters high and above 3 meters high in
thundershowers. In the lower Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf, the waves are
expected about 2 meters high and above 2 meters high in thundershowers. All ships should proceed with caution and keep off
thundershowers, small boats in the upper Andaman Sea keep ashore.
This
advisory is in effect on 19 May 2026, at 5.00 a.m.
