BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): Twenty-four provinces in Thailand have been warned of flash floods and overflows from river and canals from Saturday until Tuesday (Sept 17-21) due to heavy rains brought on by a monsoon trough and the south-west monsoon.

The Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) issued the warning on Thursday, citing a weather forecast by the Meteorological Department, which said most of Thailand would experience more rainfall with isolated heavy showers until Sunday.
