Warnings issued for potential mudslides and flash flooding across ten provinces
📣 Flash Flood and Mudslide Warning for 10 Thai Provinces!
Heads up, folks! The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) has issued a warning for heavy rainfall and potential flash flooding and mudslides in 10 provinces across the North, Central, and Eastern regions.
Prepare yourselves, folks! The Meteorological Department forecasts heavy rainfall in these three regions over the next 24 hours. Here are the provinces under alert:
- Northern Region: Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Tak, Mae Hong Son, Nan, and Phayao.
- Central Region (including Bangkok): Phetchabun, Kanchanaburi, and Trat.
What does this mean, you ask? Well, it's crucial that disaster monitoring volunteers in these regions frequently measure rainfall and stay on standby to alert residents of potential floods or mudslides.
Local government agencies, too, should prepare to assist residents in cases of emergencies like flooding or landslides. If you reside in these areas, keep a close eye on weather updates and stay safe, citizens!

In the face of imminent flash floods and mudslides due to heavy rainfall, environmental-science volunteers in the affected provinces (Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Tak, Mae Hong Son, Nan, Phayao, Phetchabun, Kanchanaburi, and Trat) should closely monitor the weather and be ready to alert residents of potential risks. Additionally, the science behind the heavy rainfall (due to monsoon trough and southwesterly winds) underlines the urgent need for environmental-science studies to understand and mitigate the impacts of climate change on weather patterns.
