Kajiki dissipates but North warned of heavy rain, new storm ahead
The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) reported on Wednesday (August 27) that tropical storm Kajiki has weakened into a low-pressure system over northern Thailand.
Despite its dissipation, authorities warned that the system will continue to bring heavy rainfall to the region for at least the next two days.
Officials advised residents in the North to remain vigilant as accumulated rainfall could trigger flash floods and run-offs into river basins.
The TMD also cautioned that the months of August and September typically see frequent storm formation, meaning another tropical system could soon follow Kajiki.
The department urged the public to rely only on official updates and refrain from spreading unverified information, stressing that the dissemination of false or misleading reports that cause public panic may be subject to legal action.
