Typhoon Noru is making landfall in Vietnam on Sept. 28 before passing through Laos into Thailand in the early hours of Sept. 29.

but causing many areas, including Bangkok
Affected by heavy rain and flooding
In order to prepare when Typhoon Noru hits Thailand and it should ease concerns as it weakens from a typhoon to a tropical storm.
The northeastern region of Thailand will be the first checkpoint in this storm.
From the identification of "Dr. Suthat Weesakul" Director of the Institute of Water Resources Information
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) found that Noru had weakened, with winds of 75 kilometers per hour.
before entering Thailand, which is a tropical storm
from the resistance of mountains and trees
but with the monsoon trough and the moderate southwest monsoon influence
will make the amount of rain still exist
Be especially careful in the northeastern region.
because it is a direct line of impact since the storm has not yet arrived
“Hymn Noru will pass through Laos. Entering Thailand in the upper part of Ubon Ratchathani Province Between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. on 29 Sept., it will affect the whole Isan region. Especially the lower Isan will be affected more than the upper Isan. because there is a monsoon to fill will be heavy rain In the upper Northeast, it rains less. But the wind is strong and the air is cool. And from 28 Sept., all over Thailand except the southern region will be affected by the front of the winds of Typhoon Noru. will cause heavy to moderate rain before the storm comes in."

Be careful in the Pa Sak River Basin.
including Chi River Basin, Mun River Basin, Sakae Krang River Basin
Chao Phraya River Basin
and the Nan River Basin
while Bangkok
and coastal provinces in the east
Will be influenced since before the storm Noru came.
Because the winds blow the sea until causing moisture, causing rain during the period of September 30 to October 2, even storm Noru has already left.
Concerns for the Bangkok area
When Storm Noru comes in
because some areas have already flooded before
And now the water is still slowly draining, such as Lat Krabang, Nong Chok, Khlong Sam Wa and Min Buri, which are Bangkok areas.
The outer layer is far from the sea.
If more heavy rains come, it will be severely affected. In addition, there is concern in the area of Pathum Thani Province, although there is a canal in Rangsit to receive water, but the amount of water in the canal is too large to accommodate more water.
From checking the storm that will come after the storm Noru
There hasn't been a new storm coming into Thailand during this period.

So that government agencies are prepared to deal with the same storm as Noru.
It will work with all departments from the establishment of the front-end water management center in
Ubon Ratchathani Province and Chainat Province
“Hopefully, Noru will weaken into a depression. and hopefully won't have the same problem as Typhoon Mu Like last year, heavy rain fell directly over the Pa Sak Dam. until causing the water level to rise so much that it cannot support the mass of water If it rains heavily in Phetchabun province, there is still a drainage canal, making it not a concern. but cannot be predicted Therefore, we must be prepared to closely monitor the situation to minimize the impact.”
