The Meteorological Department (TMD) yesterday reported that Bualoi, now centred over northern Myanmar and Laos, is moving along the monsoon trough affecting upper northern Thailand.

The typhoon, combined with the strong southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, will continue to bring heavy rain.
