Phuket Andaman Sea waters face thunderstorms and waves above 2 metres

The Thai Meteorological Department has warned of thunderstorms across the Andaman Sea on 15 October 2026, with waves expected to rise above 2 metres in storm conditions affecting waters around Phuket.

The department’s daily forecast calls for scattered thunderstorms and isolated heavy rain in Ranong, Phang Nga and Satun. Andaman Sea waves are expected to reach about 1 metre but may exceed 2 metres during thunderstorms.

The wider forecast predicts heavy rain in 19 provinces, particularly in the Central, Eastern and Southern regions. The department warned that accumulated rainfall could cause flash floods, overflows and landslides near waterways and foothills.

Ships in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf were advised to avoid areas experiencing thunderstorms.
