Heavy Rain Forces Flight Diversions in Phuket
Fourteen flights bound for Phuket were diverted to alternative airports due to heavy rain causing widespread flooding on the island. The airport remained dry, but low visibility led to diversions. Passengers faced delays and were advised to expect extended waits until weather conditions improve. The flooding is expected to ease by July 3, but Thailand's Meteorological Department forecasts increased rainfall until July 11.
