Tropical Storm Maysak Lashes Thailand with Torrential Rain and Sea Alerts

BANGKOK, Thailand — Tropical Storm Maysak is bringing severe weather conditions to several regions of Thailand, prompting heavy rainfall warnings and marine advisories, even as the storm system itself remains centered over China and will not make direct landfall in the Kingdom.

Tropical Storm Kalmaegi Set to Extend Rainfall Across Thailand

According to the Thai Meteorological Department, the severe tropical storm made landfall in the Quang Ninh district of Vietnam in the early hours of the morning before moving inland into China’s Guangxi province. While the system is tracking northeastward and away from Thai borders, its residual atmospheric influence is interacting with a persistent monsoon trough across the upper North and northern Laos. This weather pattern, combined with a strong southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, is expected to unleash heavy to very heavy rains across the Northern, Upper Northeastern, and Eastern regions throughout Sunday and Monday.

The deteriorating weather conditions have prompted urgent maritime warnings, particularly for the upper Andaman Sea, where thundershowers are forecast to generate dangerous waves reaching two to three meters in height or more. Authorities have strongly advised operators of small boats to remain ashore to ensure safety during this period of turbulent seas and reduced visibility.

In addition to the coastal and inland flooding risks, the persistent and intense rainfall has caused a significant and rapid surge in the Mekong River. Water levels in Nakhon Phanom province rose by 80 centimeters within a single day, reaching a depth of 4.90 meters by Sunday morning. This rapid increase has raised concerns for riverside communities and agricultural zones as the monsoon conditions continue to saturate the region.

    Justice delayed for 40 years is injustice, says Mu…

    Prominent religious scholar Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman has called for urgent reforms in Pakistan’s justice and economic systems, saying that a legal framework that fails to deliver justice for decades cannot be considered fair. Addressing a gathering in Karachi on Tuesday, Mufti Muneeb said prolonged court cases lasting 40 years amount to injustice and place an enormous burden on ordinary citizens. He stressed that timely justice is essential for social stability and public trust in institutions. The scholar also urged those in power to focus on resolving Pakistan’s domestic challenges. He said leaders often discuss global issues, but greater attention should be given to pressing national matters, particularly economic concerns affecting millions of people. Referring to the energy sector, Mufti Muneeb called for a solution to issues related to Independent Power Producers (IPPs), which have frequently been debated in Pakistan due to their impact on electricity costs and the national economy. He further highlighted the country’s financial difficulties, saying that after payments related to provincial allocations and debt obligations, limited resources remain for development and public welfare. Speaking at the same event, Maulana Bashir Farooqi expressed concern over the continuation of the interest-based banking system. He said there was a need for serious efforts to move toward alternative financial models and added that his organization was prepared to help train employees of conventional banks if reforms were introduced. The remarks come amid ongoing debates in Pakistan over judicial reforms, economic challenges and proposals for changes in the financial system.
