The Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) has warned that heavy to very heavy rain will continue across parts of upper Thailand through July 8, raising risks of flash floods, forest runoff and landslides as a monsoon trough and a relatively strong southwest monsoon affect the country.
The ONWR said the monsoon trough extends across the upper North and upper Laos and is linked to severe tropical storm Maysak, while a strong southwest monsoon prevails over the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand.
Heavy to very heavy rain is forecast in parts of the upper North and upper Northeast through July 9, though rainfall is expected to ease in the Central, Eastern and Southern regions.
