Irrigation department increases discharge rate through Pasak Chonlasit Dam
Today 12:30Key points summarised by AI
The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) will significantly increase water discharge from Pasak Chonlasit Dam, reaching 400m3/s by October 2, advising Pasak River communities to prepare for rising water levels.
Concurrently, the Tha Chin River has already overflowed its banks in Nakhon Pathom, inundating riverside houses and leading to multiple subdistricts being declared flood disaster zones.
Weather department adopts a friendlier look for updates and warnings
Today 11:46Key points summarised by AI
The Meteorological Department has transformed its weather warnings, using simpler language, fewer technical terms, and lighter graphics to enhance public understanding and actionability.
This change directly responds to criticism that previous forecasts were overly technical, unclear, and failed to provide specific guidance on necessary precautions.
The department now employs a more conversational tone, incorporating emojis and practical advice, such as prompting laundry or warning about potential mudslides.
The new, approachable communication style has received widespread positive feedback from social media users, who report significantly improved comprehension of weather conditions.
