Here’s a breakdown of the data from the provided text,summarizing the whether warning:
Key Points:
* Storm “Raksa“: The Meteorological Department has issued the 11th warning regarding storm “Raksa.” While initially strong, it’s expected to weaken quickly as a cold air mass from China moves south. The storm itself is not expected to directly impact Thailand.
* impact from “Karota”: The influence of storm “Karota” is causing a strengthening of the monsoon trough across northern and northeastern Thailand, and the southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand.
* Heavy Rainfall: This will result in increased rainfall,with heavy to very heavy rain expected in the northern,northeastern,central,and eastern regions of Thailand from September 25-26,2018 (note the year is 2018,not 2025/2026 as mentioned in the text).
* Potential Hazards: People in affected areas are warned to be aware of:
* Flash Floods: Due to heavy and accumulated rainfall.
* Wild Waters: Rapidly rising water levels in natural waterways.
* Overflowing Water: Especially in sloping areas, near waterways, lowlands, and flood-prone areas.
* Strong Waves: The Andaman Sea and the upper Gulf of Thailand will experience stronger waves (2-3 meters high, potentially over 3 meters with thunderstorms). Small boats are advised to stay ashore from September 25-26, 2018.
Crucial Note: The text contains a date discrepancy. It mentions September 25-26, 2018, while the surrounding context (and the initial mention of September 25/26) suggests a more recent timeframe. The 2018 date is highly likely the correct one based on the content of the warning.
