People living near Thailand’s waterways warned of flooding, overflows this week

[snoop1130]

 

The National Water Command Centre is advising people living near rivers, waterways and reservoirs to prepare for possible flooding, overflows and flash floods from today until August 10th due to heavy rain.

 

It said that Thailand will continue to face heavy to very heavy rainfall in some areas this week, as a result of the south-westerly monsoon over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf, compounded by the monsoon trough moving over Myanmar, northern and north-eastern regions, developing into a low- pressure cell area over northern Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin.

 

The expected rainfall may cause several main rivers and tributaries, such as Nan, Yom, Kwai Noi, Pa Sak, Chao Phraya, Loei, Mun, Bang Pakong and Trat, to overflow.

Well.....it is August.

Second wave. 

 

Almost expected.

It's hard to believe that over the course of history somehow people managed to persuade property buyers that something next to a flood risk was actually worth more than something safely away from the flood risk.

 

But here we are.....
