Tropical Storm Soulik causes heavy rain in Nakhon Phanom

Tropical Storm Soulik has triggered heavy rainfall in Nakhon Phanom town of Thailand, prompting officials to rush water pumping operations into the Mekong River. To mitigate the effects of the storm, the Municipality of the town has activated large-scale pumps at seven critical points. If the rain continues, the pumps will operate 24 hours a day to prevent flooding in urban and commercial areas.

The Meteorological Department has reported that Tropical Storm Soulik entered Thailand via Nakhon Phanom Province in the morning of 20th September. And, between September 20-23, Thailand can expect increased rainfall across all regions, particularly in the northeastern region.
