Heavy rain is forecast for all over Thailand from Monday to Wednesday, the Meteorological Department has warned.
Rain, downpours and strong winds are likely in the North, Northeast, Central Region, East and Western South, as well as Bangkok and its outskirts, it said in an announcement issued on Monday evening.
“Residents in these areas should be prepared for flash floods, runoff and flooding in the plains,” it said.
The depression blanketing the middle part of the South China Sea looks set to make a landfall in Vietnam on Tuesday.
Its strength will ease into low-pressure pockets when it enters Laos and Thailand’s upper Northeast and North, respectively, it said.
