Thailand’s southwestern area is experiencing heavier rainfall until at least Saturday, after a downpour that left the province’s Phatthalung province municipality under on Friday morning.

The Gulf of Thailand regions along the coast, including Chumphon and Narathiwat, and Prachuap Khiri Khan, are experiencing more rainfall until Saturday, or perhaps more, according to a report from the Meteorological Department on Friday.

Ranong, Phangnga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang and Satun regions on the Andaman beach will also be impacted by the weather, the agency added.

Officials have been keeping an eye on flooding in areas along the coast after they’ve already experienced large downpours since Tuesday.

The most rain fell in Phatthalung on Thursday, according to the Hazard Prevention and Mitigation Department. Some places in the towns of Muang, Kongra, and Sri Nakarin were submerged in rain, causing traffic jams in the morning.
