The Meteorological Department is again warning of tropical storm Sonca, which will cause heavy rain and possible flooding in many places in Thailand. Somca was located 350 km east of Vinh (Vietnam) on Monday morning with winds of 65 km per hour and is expected to reach the coast of Vietnam on Tuesday.
The storm will move as a depression to Laos, the northern part of the Northeast and the north of Thailand. Heavy rain showers are expected on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday, rain is predicted in the North, Northeast and East, there may be flooding.
Next week, rainwater from Sonca will reach the Chao Phraya River. To be prepared for this, the water outflow of the Chao Phraya dam in Chai Nat has been increased. The water level downstream in Ang Thong and Ayutthaya will therefore rise by 15 to 25 cm.
In the northeastern province of Nakhon Phanom, a flood warning has been issued for the Mekong. The water level rises by 20 to 30 cm every day and stood at 10 meters on Monday, 3 meters below the flood level.
The editors have already heard from various readers from Isaan that it is raining heavily.
