The flow at Nakhon Sawan peaks near 3,010 m³/s on Friday as the Chao Phraya Dam releases 2,300 m³/s. About 2.93 million people are affected in 31 provinces, and Bangkok's water stays about 40 cm below its barriers. (Handled with care.)
26 turning points on record since Aug 21 — the 8 most recent shown.
Intensity is not exposure — named storms cross open ocean and near-empty atolls, while the widest human story, about 2.93 million affected in Thailand, comes from rain without a name..
Officials have directed additional water from upstream areas toward Nakhon Sawan while warning of possible river overflow as levels continue to rise. These reports align with the expected arrival of the flood crest in central Thailand and highlight the advance steps taken to manage the flow. The updates emphasize the growing risk to the region once the peak moves through.
