All southern provinces have been battling wet weather in recent days with more expected to arrive today as a northeasterly wind crosses the Gulf of Thailand, bringing rain with it along coastal areas.

The Meteorological Department yesterday warned of more heavy rain in all southern provinces along the Gulf and Prachuap Khiri Khan.

"Heavy rain and flash floods are possible in provinces from Nakhon Si Thammarat down to Narathiwat," forecaster Patcharee Prathet said.

The weather forecasting agency said sporadic rain was expected in all southern provinces on the Andaman coast.
