The Northeast is anticipated to bear the brunt of the damage caused by a tornado that will affect Thailand on Friday, which will cause big rainfall, sudden floods, and landslides.

The district’s deputy director-general and official, Thanasit Iam-ananchai, on Tuesday said a melancholy in the northwestern part of the South China Sea was heading west and developing into a tropical surprise.

The surprise is anticipated to make its way into Thailand’s higher Northeast on Friday or sooner before slowing down and then causing low-pressure regions, he said.

The eastern portion of the Northeast will first be affected by the storms, according to Mr. Thanasit.

He said it will reach the state’s north piece the hardest, causing low-pressure places in different parts of the Northeast and elsewhere, including the main, north, and eastern regions. The South is most likely to be affected by a powerful south rain.

He claimed that the wind will cause mudslides and flash floods.

This comes after Typhoon Yagi caused panic in northeastern Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar, killing more than 500 persons.

In addition, storm instructions have been issued for five northern regions where the rapidly rising Mekong River’s banks could collapse.

A sizable amount of rainwater was flowing inland, according to the Office of the National Water Resources ‘ report on Tuesday, which could have caused flooding in the regions of Bueng Kan, Nakhon Phanom, Mukdahan, Amnat Charoen, and Ubon Ratchathani this year.

Overflowing from the inflamed Mekong has already flooded several areas of Nong Khai state.

One of the worst areas in the Muang district’s metropolitan area is flooded. Over the past few weeks, everything there has been brought to a stop. The municipal office has urged people to be informed despite the fact that the flood level is decreasing. After the powerful flood present eroded road surfaces, some parts of the town are also closed to traffic.

The Mekong was still rising in Nakhon Phanom, but provincial mayor Niwat Chiawiriyabunya was optimistic that they could keep the area clean.

He claimed that the river’s water level was also three meters below the crisis level.
