Heavy rains in Bangkok, Thailand, have caused significant flooding, impacting approximately 52,000 households and leading to the evacuation of nearly 4,900 individuals to shelters. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) reported that water levels in the city's canal system remained elevated as of Sunday morning, with efforts underway to expedite drainage. Additional rainfall is expected throughout Sunday in Bangkok and nearby provinces, although forecasts indicate that the rain will begin to decrease on Monday. A flood disaster was declared across Bangkok on Saturday following nearly 48 hours of continuous rain, with over 330mm (13 inches) recorded in some areas from Thursday to Sunday, according to the weather agency. Experts have indicated that the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events may rise due to climate change linked to fossil fuel emissions.
