BANGKOK, 16th September 2018 (NNT) – The northern and northeastern regions can expect more rain between September 17th and 19th.

Typhoon Mangkhut in the Pacific Ocean is moving at a speed of 20 kilometers an hour towards the coast and is expected to weaken into a southwesterly monsoon once it makes landfall in southern China between September 16th and 18th. The monsoon will then move across the Gulf of Thailand and into the Andaman sea, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to the north and northeast of the kingdom. Risk-prone areas are advised to remain vigilant against flashfloods, forest runoffs, overflows, and mudslides.

Waves in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand between September 16th and 20th could reach four meters high. Operators of small boats are advised not to put to sea, while large vessels should proceed with caution.
