Rainfall to lessen and rebound later this week

BANGKOK, 22 July 2015 (NNT) - The Ministry of Science and Technology has said that Typhoon Halola, which is moving southern Japan, will not have any impact on Thailand.

According to satellite imagery, skies remain cloudy today in the North and Northeast of Thailand. Rainfall has been recorded throughout the country in the last 24 hours, with the North of Thailand experiencing medium precipitation. In the Northeast, natural water bodies have been replenished due to heavy rain.

Salinity in the Chao Praya River recorded earlier today has exceeded the standard level by 0.21 gram per liter. Major dams have only 46 percent of capacity remaining.

Bhumibol and Sirikit dams have 122 and 268 million cubic meters of drinking water, respectively. The amount of rain will decline from today until Friday, as the monsoon trough has left the country and the southwesterly wind is weakening in both the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea.

However, another monsoon trough will move toward the upper part of Thailand, while winds in the southern sea will become stronger from Saturday. The amount of precipitation in the country will rebound accordingly.
