The Royal Irrigation Department raised water releases through the Chao Phraya dam to 1,750 m³/s on 24 September, after 1,777 m³/s was recorded at the Nakhon Sawan C.2 station. The Meteorological Department expects more rain in the central region from 24 to 27 September, so levels in the Chao Phraya basin could rise again. If your shop, factory or land sits along the river or downstream of the dam, watch local flood alerts this week, protect stock and equipment stored at ground level, and plan for disrupted access roads.
