The Meteorological Department warns of intense rains and potential flash floods across northern, northeastern, central, eastern, and southern regions from July 13-19.
Dangerous sea conditions are expected in the Andaman Sea (2-3 meter waves) and the Gulf, prompting warnings for sailors and small boats to stay ashore.
Coastal residents, particularly along the western and eastern coasts, are advised to brace for strong winds and high waves pushing towards the shoreline.
The turbulent weather is attributed to a monsoon trough over Laos/Vietnam and a strengthening southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea and Gulf.
