The Meteorological Department stated that by the time Tembin reached Thailand it would be weaker yet severe enough to trigger some flooding. The advisory noted that the bad weather would affect all provinces from Bangkok down to Satun, Narathiwat and the Malaysian border. The forecast shows rainfall is likely to be heavier from Prachuap Khiri Khan downwards.
The bad weather is expected to last through until New Year’s Eve and will then brighten up to welcome 2018. The Royal Irrigation Department explained that officials at local amphur offices had been asked to keep an eye on water runoff and arrange drainage mechanisms in any areas which flooded.
