"This time, all relevant agencies have demonstrated preparedness in disaster surveillance, prevention, and the rapid delivery of assistance to the public.

Thailand Braces For Tropical Storm Wipha, School Closures Expected
By Kenny Teng BANGKOK, July 23 (Bernama) -- Thailand is preparing for Tropical Storm Wipha, which is forecast to track along the monsoon trough stretching across northern Thailand in the coming days. Deputy Spokesperson for the Thai Prime Minister's Office, Anukool Pruksanusak said the public has been urged to brace for potential disruptions due to the severe weather. This includes the potential immediate closure of schools located in the storm's projected path. bootstrap slideshow "The government would like to emphasise the safety of the public. Please be prepared to handle the situation, pay attention to warnings, and follow the guidance of government agencies to minimise the impact and prevent potential losses," he said in a statement published on the Royal Thai Government's website on Wednesday. He said the Agriculture Ministry has been instructed to minimise the impact on the agricultural sector. Anukool added that the Meteorological Department has issued a warning for Tropical Storm Wipha, which is expected to weaken into a tropical depression and later into a low-pressure system. He stressed that the storm would bring heavy rainfall to many parts of Thailand, particularly the north, upper northeast, western areas of the central region, and the east, with rain forecast to continue until July 24. "The government urges people in the affected areas to be cautious of the risks posed by heavy to very heavy rainfall and the accumulation of rain, which may result in flash floods and forest runoff, particularly in foothill regions, areas near waterways, and low-lying zones," he said. As of Tuesday, it was reported that Tropical Storm Wipha had caused torrential rain and flooding in the Philippines, resulting in five fatalities and the displacement of thousands.

Tropical storm Wipha weakens, heavy rain and strong winds expected across Thailand
BANGKOK: Tropical storm Wipha weakens into a depression, but heavy rain and strong winds are still expected in Thailand, with a risk of flash floods and rough seas. The strong southwest monsoon continues to dominate the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, while the monsoon trough stretches across upper Myanmar and upper Laos, the Thai Meteorological Department said on Wednesday (July 23). At the same time, severe tropical storm Wipha has been downgraded to a tropical depression over Xiangkhouang province, Laos, and is expected to weaken further into an active low-pressure system. Despite this, isolated heavy rain and strong winds are still likely across Thailand. The North, Northeast, Central, and East regions may experience very heavy rainfall, with the possibility of flash floods and overflows, especially along waterways near foothills and lowlands. Residents in these areas are advised to remain vigilant. In the Andaman Sea, strong winds will cause waves to reach 2–4m in height, and over 3m during thundershowers. The lower Andaman Sea and upper Gulf will see waves of 2–3m, with thundershowers pushing the waves above 3m in some areas. All vessels in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf should proceed with caution and avoid thundershowers. Small boats in these areas should stay ashore. - The Nation/ANN
