Tropical Storm Kajiki Brings Heavy Rain and Flooding to Asia

Tropical Storm Kajiki is causing havoc across parts of Asia, with meteorologists predicting heavy rain and flooding in Thailand until Wednesday. The storm, which has already caused significant damage in Hainan, China, is expected to weaken as it moves over Laos.

In Hainan, more than 100,000 people have been affected by the storm, with heavy rain and winds uprooting trees and damaging many buildings. There are no immediate reports of deaths due to Kajiki in Hainan. To prevent further damage, authorities have evacuated over 20,000 people from potentially dangerous areas in China.

The weather service in Thailand has issued a warning of heavy rain in 35 provinces, including the north, northeast, east, and south. Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, must prepare for flooding due to Kajiki. Cargo traffic for the crossing over the strait between Haikou on Hainan and Xuwen on the mainland has been affected, with around 5,000 trucks waiting.

The storm is being compared to the devastating typhoon Yagi that caused heavy damage in Vietnam last year. More than 16,500 soldiers and over 100,000 relief workers are on standby for rescue operations in both countries. However, the search results do not provide specific information about the commander of rescue forces in Vietnam or the exact numbers of soldiers and reserves deployed for rescue operations.

As Kajiki continues to move across Asia, it is important for authorities to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect their citizens. With heavy rain and flooding expected to continue in Thailand until Wednesday, residents in affected areas are urged to stay indoors and follow the advice of local authorities.
