I think the issue / warning is more about the rainfall than the wind.

Where's "here"? The reservoirs I visit around Chiang Mai are very low at the moment. Quite a dry "wetseason" so far. River Kuang east of the Ping, almost dry.....

CP river has been very low (1.5 to 1.8m) up until Monday 17th when it went to 5,1m presumably they opened a dam to allow some water to fill the klongs for the farmers to pump into the paddy.

Since then it has been dropping steadily to 3.1m on Friday, did not look yesterday or today.

These cyclones normally fade (to the south) as soon as they hit land and they usually dump a lot of their water when they hit mountains.

A fair bit of land and a lot of hills before this one gets to Thailand.

Could well be that the rain that comes is mainly in the east which drains into the Mae Kong and not into the dams where it is needed.

But there is no certainty with theses things so we wait to see.

Phitsanuloke paddy fields damaged by flood
By English News

PHITSANULOK, June 24 -- More than 3,000 rai of paddy field in the lower northern province of Phitsanulok were damaged by forest run off which caused by the continuous rain.
The continued heavy rain caused forest runoff from the Phetchabun mountains to flood more than 3,000 rai of paddy fields in five subdistricts of Phitsanulok's Bang Krathum district.
It was expected that the area of flood damage could widen because water is still flowing from the mountain.
Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department of Thailand has warned that the northeastern provinces of Thailand to brace for heavy rain expected to come from tropical storm "Bebinca" that is now in Vietnam.
The weather agency said in a statement that the storm is over northern Vietnam and has been downgraded to tropical depression status. It was last reported at 100 km northeast of Hanoi with maximum sustained wind of about 55 km/hour and was moving north slowly and was expected to weaken to become a low pressure cell in the next phase.
The storm has caused heavy rain over Thailand's Udon Thani, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom and Mukdahan provinces for several days.
At the same time, the strong southwest monsoon remains over the upper Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Strong wind and 2-3 metre high waves are expected in the upper Andaman Sea. The department warned ships to proceed with caution and for small boats in the upper Andaman Sea to keep ashore. (MCOT online news)
