The Thai Meteorological Department is warning of heavy rain and lower temperatures in northern and southern Thailand from November 3 to 6. A cold air current from China and an active monsoon trough could cause flooding and strong winds in these regions. Residents are advised to prepare for the weather conditions.
The South of Thailand is experiencing severe weather. The same goes for other parts of the country, including Bangkok. The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has also warned of heavy rain showers yesterday.
Hundreds of passengers were stranded at Koh Samui airport yesterday as twelve flights between the popular island and Bangkok had to be canceled due to bad weather.
20 villages in Trang flooded
The weather gods work rather selectively in the South. While less rain falls elsewhere in the region, twenty villages in Trang have been flooded. The worst hit was the village of Moo 7 where the water reached a height of more than one meter.
