Thirteen provinces were hit by summer storms between March 31 and April 7, in which 296 houses were damaged and one people killed, Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department chief Chalerm Promlert said on Sunday.
They were Ubon Ratchathani, Khon Kaen and Loei in the Northeast; Phetchaburi, Saraburi, Samut Sakhon and Nonthaburi in the Central region; and Chiang Mai, Uttaradit, Chiang Rai, Mae Hong Son, Kamphang Phet and Phayao in the North. In these provinces, 71 villages in 22 districts were affected.
Mr Chalerm said one people was killed, but gave no details.
He said the department had coordinated with military units, local administrations and other agencies concerned to provide assistance such as food and necessities, roofing sheets and materials for house repairs to the affected people. The authorities were assessing damage in order to further arrange for compensation payments.
Citing the Meteorological Department's forecast, Mr Chatchai said on April 9 the weather in upper Thailand will be hot to very hot during the daytime.
The southeasterly winds have prevailed over the lower Northeast and the East, so outbreaks of thundershowers are likely in some areas.
The existing low pressure over the Andaman Sea and the weak easterly winds across the Gulf and the South will result in isolated thundershowers.
