These drains engineered typically to handle excess rainwater by directing it away from urban areas to prevent flooding, have been compromised, as they also transport untreated or partially treated wastewater, impacting communities and the cityโs coastline, reports Paul Nicodemus
Tourists planning a trip to Thailand this week may need to prepare for wet weather, possible travel disruptions and rough sea conditions, as the country's meteorological agency has forecast widespread rainfall and thunderstorms across several regions. According to the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD), a strong south-west monsoon over the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand, combined with a low-pressure system off the coast of Vietnam, is expected to bring persistent rain across the country on June 2. Authorities have warned of heavy rain in several provinces and very heavy rainfall along parts of Thailand's west coast in the south. The weather conditions could trigger flash floods and runoff in low-lying areas and locations near waterways. Which tourist areas could be affected? Popular destinations on Thailand's west coast, including Phuket, Krabi, Phang Nga, Trang and Satun, are expected to see the heaviest rainfall, with thunderstorms forecast across 80% of the region.131421089 In eastern Thailand, tourist destinations such as Pattaya and coastal areas in Rayong and Trat could also experience thunderstorms and periods of heavy rain. The forecast for Bangkok and surrounding areas indicates thunderstorms in around 60% of locations, with isolated heavy downpours possible. What should island-hoppers and beachgoers know? Travellers planning boat trips, island tours or water activities should closely monitor local weather advisories. The TMD has warned of rough seas in both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Wave heights in the upper Andaman Sea, including waters around Phuket, are expected to reach 2-3 metres and could exceed 3 metres during thunderstorms. In the lower Andaman Sea, including waters near Krabi and southern islands, waves could rise above 2 metres during storms. Authorities have advised vessels to proceed with caution and avoid sailing through thunderstorm zones. Small boats in the upper Andaman Sea have been advised to remain ashore. How could the weather affect travel plans? Heavy rain may lead to delays for ferry services, island excursions, outdoor sightseeing and adventure activities. Tourists visiting beaches, national parks and mountainous areas should be alert to local weather warnings, particularly in regions vulnerable to flash flooding.
