据Suttinee Yuvejwattana报道，泰国正在为国际货币基金组织和世界银行集团在曼谷的会议部署24小时天气和洪水监测团队。
Thailand is deploying a 24-hour weather and flood-monitoring team for the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group meetings in Bangkok.
预计将有超过15,000名代表抵达首都，气象预报显示10月10日至11日将有雷暴、大风和短时强降雨。几周前的严重洪水曾淹没道路、扰乱航班并暂时关闭工厂。
The preparations come as more than 15,000 delegates are due in the capital, with thunderstorms, strong winds and brief bursts of heavy rain forecast for Oct. 10-11. Severe flooding just weeks ago inundated roads, disrupted flights and temporarily shut factories.
气象局预报局长Surapong Sarapa表示，气象学家将全天候监测状况并按区发布预报，官员将在会议期间全程驻守现场。他称，降雨预计将从10月12日会议正式开始时减弱。
Meteorologists will monitor conditions around the clock and issue forecasts district by district, with officials stationed at the meetings throughout the event, Meteorological Department’s forecasting chief Surapong Sarapa said. Rainfall should ease from Oct. 12, when the meetings get underway, he said.
政府也在全天候监控交通和洪水情况。官员称，四个主要会议区域即便在近期暴雨中也未出现积水，且已准备好应急预案以应对情况恶化。
The government is also monitoring traffic and flooding around the clock. Officials say the four main meeting zones remained free of standing water even during the recent deluge and contingency plans are ready if conditions worsen.
