Phuket marine users warned as Andaman Sea waves rise above 2 metres

Phuket marine users have been warned of strengthening conditions in the Andaman Sea on 10 November, with waves expected to rise above 2 metres in areas affected by thunderstorms.

The Thai Meteorological Department said scattered thundershowers were forecast in Ranong, Phang Nga, Trang and Satun. Waves were expected to reach about 1 metre near shore and about 2 metres offshore, rising higher in thunderstorm areas.

Heavy rain was forecast in eight southern provinces: Chumphon, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat. The department warned that accumulated rain could trigger flash floods and overflows near waterways, particularly around foothills and low-lying areas.

Waves in both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf were expected to strengthen, exceeding 2 metres in thunderstorm areas. Ships were advised to avoid thunderstorms.

The forecast was issued by the Thai Meteorological Department for 10 November 2026.
