Deputy Director General

The deputy director of the Uttar Department was seen as a "goat" in the flood. Repeat the heavy rain warning from Sept. 21.

On September 26, 2026, the Deputy Director General of the Meteorological Department issued a clarification of the case, criticizing the handling of the flood situation. After the Meteorological Department was questioned the public alert.

The meteorological department has been monitoring the situation and forwarding forecast data since September 21, 2026, the day the department issued a heavy to heavy rainfall warning, stating that during September 23-27, many parts of Thailand, including Bangkok and its perimeter, are vulnerable to heavy rainfall and cumulative rainfall, which can lead to flash flooding and a wide range of forest water flows.

However, the Deputy Director General stated that the problem may be the communication and distribution of information, because even if the agency has information and notifications, the information may not reach all groups of people.

The Meteorological Department also previously clarified the "Great Flood in 120 Hours" news stream, stating that the period September 23-27 was heavy to heavy rainfall, but the message that heavy rainfall would occur throughout the day and night to become "Great Flood" did not comply with the Department's forecast.

The main point is that the alarm information has been sent out, but how effective and thorough is the communication to the public and the preparation of the information in each area?

Citizens in vulnerable areas should continue to monitor information from meteorological departments and local authorities, especially during periods of still heavy rainfall and cumulative rainfall in many areas.
