The Meteorological Department on Saturday predicted more rains for Bangkok and its vicinity.
The department forecast fairly widespread thundershowers and isolate heavy rain for Saturday.
It explained that the rains would be unleashed by the influence of a
monsoon and a high-pressure system, but the tropical storm Khanun would
have no effect on Thailand.
The department said on Saturday that the storm was now over the upper
South China Sea, west of Philippines. It is forecast to move to Hainan,
China and upper Vietnam from October 15-17. It will then lose energy
quickly after it makes landfall in upper Vietnam during that period.
In its forecast issued at 10am, the Meteorological Department said a
monsoon trough lies across the lower Central, the upper South and the
East, while the high-pressure system still extends from China to the
upper Northeast and the upper Laos.
This will result in outbreaks of rains and isolated downpours over the country.
