El Nino Watch

Exit signal: TMD sea warnings

Thai Meteorological Department warning bulletins about waves in the Gulf of Thailand.

Koh Samui watch

The app reads TMD bulletins, keeps those in force for the South / Gulf and checks for wave warnings and the advice that small boats should stay ashore.

Limits. Bulletins are in Thai and summarised; the app detects keywords, so read the bulletin itself when it matters.

How to read it

No Gulf wave warning: ok. Wave warning for the Gulf: caution. 'Small boats should stay ashore' or waves of 3 m or more: blocked. Andaman-Sea-only warnings do not count.

Why it matters for Koh Samui

The TMD is the official source that ferry operators and the port authorities follow.
