曼谷：泰国当局周一（10月5日）警告将有更多降雨和山洪暴发，自9月中旬以来全国洪水造成的死亡人数已升至31人。
BANGKOK: Thai authorities on Monday (Oct 5) warned of more rain and flash flooding as the death toll from floods across the country since mid-September rose to 31.
泰国气象局表示，从周一到周三，泰国北部大部分地区预计将出现雷暴、大风和暴雨，增加了山洪暴发的风险，特别是在低洼地区。
Thunderstorms, strong winds and heavy rain are expected across much of upper Thailand from Monday through Wednesday, increasing the risk of flash flooding, particularly in low-lying areas, the Thailand Meteorological Department said.
周末，中部、东部和南部地区的部分区域（包括首都曼谷）也预计将出现大暴雨到暴雨。
Very heavy to heavy rains are also forecast in some areas in the central, eastern and southern regions, including the capital, Bangkok, over the weekend.
上周连日暴雨导致曼谷许多地区被淹，迫使数千人撤离，造成严重混乱。城市情况已大幅改善，尽管一些低洼地区仍有积水。
Many areas in Bangkok were inundated last week after days of torrential rain, forcing thousands to evacuate and causing severe disruptions. The city’s conditions have largely improved, although floodwaters remain in some lower-lying areas.
曼谷当局表示，他们正在采取措施降低进一步洪涝风险，包括从城市主要运河排放更多水以增加其容纳雨水的能力，并在高风险地区部署更多水泵。
Bangkok authorities said they were taking measures to reduce the risk of further flooding, including draining more water from the city’s main canals to increase their capacity to absorb rain and deploying more water pumps in high-risk areas.
据防灾减灾部门称，截至周一，全国仍有超过350万人受洪水影响。这31起死亡案例分布在八个省份，其中曼谷有4起。
More than 3.5 million people remained affected by flooding nationwide as of Monday, according to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation. The 31 deaths were reported across eight provinces, including four in Bangkok.
洪水造成的广泛破坏促使泰国政府上周批准了超过41亿泰铢（约1.22亿美元）的应急资金用于洪灾恢复。
The extensive damage from flooding prompted the Thai government to approve emergency funds of more than 4.1 billion baht (about US$122 million) last week for flood recovery.
