Five flood-hit southern provinces will have to brace for more downpours and possible flash floods, according to the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department (DPMD).
“Heavy rain are forecast for eight southern provinces between January 6 and January 10,” DPDM director general Wiboon Sanguanpong said Thursday.
Of the eight provinces, Songkhla, Yala, Pattani, Phatthalung, and Nakhon Si Thammarat just experienced flooding, which was triggered by cloudburst during the New Year holidays.
“It’s possible that flash flood, overflowing and landslides may hit those provinces again,” Wiboon continued.
