The Thai Meteorological Department says Typhoon Dolphin will not enter Thailand, but it will strengthen the monsoon, bringing heavy to very heavy rain that could cause flash floods and rivers to overflow from August 4 to 10. Practical steps: protect stock and equipment in low-lying areas, plan deliveries and travel around flood-prone roads, and keep an eye on foothill and riverside sites. Small boats in the upper Andaman Sea should stay ashore from August 4 to 10, and in the upper Gulf of Thailand from August 6 to 10. Operators sailing in the Gulf or Andaman should avoid areas with thunderstorms.
