Tropical depression threatens more rain for flooded Thailand
The Thailand Meteorological Department said today that a tropical depression had formed in the Gulf of Thailand, some 80 km east of Chumphon. The Department has issued flood, storm surge and shipping warnings especially in coastal and Gulf areas.
Thailand has recently experienced heavy and unseasonable rainfall; more is expected for coastal regions including Bangkok where officials have been battling to contain flooding over the past few days.
Scientists working on the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change’s Working Group III Report are currently meeting in the capital.
