The Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) has issued a warning for heavy to very heavy rainfall in Southern Thailand, noting that national water levels have reached 82% capacity.

According to a report from Matichon Online, the Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) has issued an urgent warning for residents and travelers in Southern Thailand to prepare for heavy to very heavy rainfall. The agency reports that the overall national water storage level has reached 82% of capacity. Furthermore, dams in the western and eastern regions are nearing their maximum storage limits, raising concerns about potential overflow and localized flooding. For residents and tourists, this weather pattern may lead to sudden flash floods, landslides in mountainous areas, and significant disruptions to local transportation networks. Travelers planning trips to the southern provinces are advised to monitor local weather forecasts closely and follow instructions from provincial authorities. While the current data highlights the high water levels and the immediate threat of heavy rain, the specific impact on infrastructure and the duration of the severe weather conditions remain to be confirmed. Visitors should exercise caution when traveling near waterways or coastal areas and ensure they have access to reliable information sources during their stay.
