Tropical Storm Vipa intensifies, posing a threat of heavy to very heavy rainfall, flash floods, and river overflows across northern and northeastern Thailand from tomorrow until next Tuesday.
The storm's movement from the Philippines into the South China Sea will strengthen the southwestern monsoon, leading to rough seas with waves up to three meters in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea.
Authorities advise residents in vulnerable areas to prepare for severe weather, move valuables to higher ground, and urge sailors and small vessels to exercise extreme caution or remain ashore.
