On Wednesday, heavy rains continued to fall in Mae Hong Son’s Sop Moei neighborhood in northeastern Thailand, flooding homes and grain fields while sweeping a village gate.
All areas will experience heavy rain on Thursday, according to a warning from the Thai Meteorological Department( TMD ).
Rainstorms have been ravaging Si Wa Doe town in the Sop Moei region of Mae Hong Son for more than a year, causing flash storms that have destroyed the town’s bridge and homes and cut it off from the main road to other areas.
Additionally, the storms have severely damaged settlements in tambon Mae Suat in the same city. Large trees were cut down and dispersed across the streets, reducing customers.
On Wednesday, Sop Moei president Akarapan Poonsiri announced that he had given the Volunteer Defence Corps and local administrations orders to clear the roads and resume customers.
Additionally, he claimed that a large stone that was blocking Highway 105 in tambon Mae Khatuan of the city had fallen on it after sliding down from the hills. Possible rock slides or floods along the route should be avoided by owners.
Display floods and hurricanes, according to Chaiporn Sakunlikhitpat, a worker at the USO Net center in the Sop Moei city village of Si Wa Doe, had cut off the area’s web.
Even worse, torrential rains had destroyed rice fields. According to Mr. Chaiporn, the village even lost power.
A reasonable rain is also present in Thailand’s North, North East, and East and will remain there for a few days, possibly causing flash floods, according to satellite images released by the TMD on Wednesday.
According to the TMD, Typhoon” Khanun” over the Pacific Ocean is anticipated to move close to southern Okinawa state, Japan, the upper portion of Taiwan, and China until Thursday.
Heavy rains and rising water levels will be present in the regions along the Mekong River, which have already flooded the locals’ corn fields.
