The Meteorological Department warns of heavy to very heavy rain in the South and East on 18-20 Oct, with flash floods and mountain runoff possible. From 21-25 Oct rain spreads to Bangkok, its vicinity and central Thailand, with some heavy to very heavy downpours and gusty winds. Sea waves above 2 metres are expected in storm areas, so boat operators should avoid those waters. For a shop or workshop in these areas, this means possible delivery delays, flooded premises and stock damage. Check stock, storage and transport plans this week.
