The Meteorological Department forecasts 60-70% rain coverage in the South today, with heavy rain in places, and flash-flood and landslide risk near hills and low-lying areas. From 9-13 October rain rises again in the East, Central region, Bangkok and the South, with heavy to very heavy falls in some spots. Sea waves over 2 metres are expected in storm areas, so boats should avoid them. For a shop or site owner: check stock and deliveries in low-lying areas, plan outdoor work and transport around the rain, and make sure goods are kept off the floor.
