Nine provinces warned of flash floods

BANGKOK: -- The Meteorological Department Wednesday warned residents of nine provinces to brace themselves for heavy downpours and possible flash floods.

The department said the depression storm Mekhala had weakened into a powerful low pressure mass over Uttaradit, which would unleash heavy downpours in several northern and central provinces.

The department said Chiang Mai, Tak, Sukhothai, Phitsanulok, Phichit, Phetchabun, Nakhon Sawan, Lop Buri, and Saraburi would be hit by heavy rains.
