There is a possibility of flooding in Ang Thong and Ayutthaya. Department deputy chief Thongplew Kongjan said the major and mid-scale dams as of Monday held 44,394 million cubic metres of water – about 59 per cent of their combined capacity. That volume was 10,229 cubic metres more than they held at the same time last year, he said. The Thai Meteorological Department on Wednesday morning downgraded tropical depression Sonca to an active low-pressure area as it moves over the Thai Northeast, lower North and upper Central region. It is expected to dissipate by Friday, but rainfall is likely to be widespread, with “heavy” and “very heavy” downpours in some isolated areas.
