Tropical storm “Doksuri” from Taiwan will not hit Thailand directly but the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has warned a monsoon will hit Thailand from Saturday until Tuesday week, bringing heavy rain to 46 provinces.
Deputy government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek yesterday said the TMD had advised the storm is moving northeastward and is expected to hit Taiwan on Wednesday. Although Thailand will not experience the full force of the storm, it will exacerbate monsoon conditions and result in rainfall over the weekend.
The TMD also forecast heavy rainfall today in some areas of the lower North, Northeast, Central Plains, including Bangkok and its adjacent provinces, as well as the East and western part of the South, which may result in flash floods and runoff, especially in foothill slopes and lowlands.
