The Thai Meteorological Department announced that the rainy season officially began on May 20. This significant event marks the start of a period when much of the country will experience regular rainfall.
According to department officials, the rainy season will last until October, covering most of the country. During this time, residents and tourists should be prepared for frequent and intense rains that may cause flooding in low-lying areas and mountains. Meteorologists warn of possible sudden downpours that could lead to rising river and reservoir levels.
The Thai government urges all citizens to stay alert and monitor weather forecasts, as well as prepare for potential emergencies. Special attention is being given to preparing infrastructure for seasonal changes, including checking the condition of dams and drainage systems.
The rainy season plays a crucial role in the country's agriculture, providing the necessary moisture for rice fields and other crops. However, despite the positive aspects, this period also requires heightened preparedness for natural disasters and quick responses to any unforeseen situations.
