32 provinces affected by Tropical Storm Mujigae

BANGKOK, 6 October 2015 (NNT) - The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) has reported that 32 provinces in Thailand are struggling in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Mujigae.

Many provinces in Thailand are still coping with heavy rain, even after Mujigae weakened to a low pressure system in China.

DDPM officials have been dispatched to assist people affected by the storm and have sought cooperation from provincial authorities to keep situation under surveillance.

Among the 32 provinces, 13 are in the North, 10 in the Northeast, five in the East and five in the South. However, Rayong and Nakhon Sawan provinces have stopped declaring disaster status.

As for the haze crisis in the South, the skies in Satun, Songkhla and Yala provinces are still covered in smog. Air pollution levels in Yala have risen beyond the safety threshold. Those in need of assistance are encouraged to contact the 24-hour hotline 1784.

What on earth are they talking about? There has been very little rain in the North East for the last 3 days, only a small shower in the evening which is normal for the rainy season. How did the storm hit Chantaburi, as was reported three days ago when the storm was in fact 1000miles to the north? it then 'hit Nakon Sawan' but somehow missed the North East on its way from Northern Vietnam. One day a real rain will come, and wash all the bullsh*t away.

Agree with you, my part of the North East is drying out fast. Would like to see the list of those 32 provinces that the government is out rescuing now. Yesterdays news was that 32 provinces could be affected, today's news is that 32 provinces were effected exactly as the government agencies had predicted. BS is right.
