Northern provinces, including Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Nan, are on high alert for flash floods and landslides, with heavy rains forecast until Monday.
The Meteorological Department attributes the severe weather to a looming low-pressure cell compounded by southwestern monsoon winds over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf.
In Nan province, search operations concluded after recovering eight bodies from a recent landslide, and approximately 200 evacuated villagers remain in shelters due to a newly discovered 200-meter mountain crack posing further landslide risks.
