Rains continue to hammer down the North and Northeast

NAN, 04 September 2015, (NNT) - Heavy rain continued to pour in the North and Northeast, increasing Mekong River water levels in Nong Khai and Nakhon Phanom provinces and flooding more than 200 homes in Nan province.

Nan officials distributed drinking water, medicine and leptospirosis vaccines to flood-affected locals in Chiang Klang district. The latest official reports on Thursday showed flood levels were as high 1m. Runoff also damaged more 1,000 rai of farmland.

Several areas in Nong Khai also faced flooding after continuous rain. As much as 200m of Soi Pho Sri 1 and 2 in Mueang district recorded flood levels of 40 - 50cm, cutting off access through both routes.

Repeated rain in Yasothon province has significantly increased water levels behind the province's dam. Officials were forced to release excess water out of the reservoir to maintain balance. The majority of precipitation was reported in Kham Khuan Kaeo, Pa Tiew and Mueang districts.

Getting a lot of rain in Loei Province over the past two weeks. Mainly at night, however, in the past three days it has been continuous but not heavy, not until yesterday when it bucketed down for a couple of hours causing flash flooding in many areas. At least the farmers are rejoicing, the crops have really taken off. Should have a bumper season.

This is news? It rains in the rainy season ... so?

Of course it's news. In a normal year heavy rain across the country is taken for granted. This is a La Nina year and any heavy rain, wherever, is reported. Some places are flooded some are dry as a bone.

There has to be a lot more rain in the next 2 months to fill the dams or next year will be a major problem for this country as far as agriculture is concerned.

We know where this water is heading.

Do not worry - the Bangkok governor has everything under control! gigglem.gif

Is he the one who said "it will be wet when it rains"? Wonderful perception of a learned person, I think whistling.gif

The next two months will bring more water into Bangkok ONLY Bangkok than they ask for,....
