Heavy rain is falling all over Laos. The government says floods and landslides could happen. Typhoon Wipha, the sixth big storm this year, is bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and loud thunderstorms. Officials tell people to watch the news and listen for warnings. The weather team shared this update on Tuesday.
Natthaphone works in Vientiane and travels often. He is scared because the rain won’t stop. “I worry the roads will close or dirt will slide down hills. If roads break or flood, my trips will take longer or cars may crash,” he says.
He also says the rain will damage farms, roads, tourist spots, and houses.
Jib sells food at a night market in Vientiane. She says the heavy rain scares customers away. “When it rains hard, people stay home. I sell less food. If this keeps happening, our town will lose money,” she says.
She is also scared the wind and rain will break her stall. “We must help each other now. Clean the streets, watch for danger, and help neighbors,” she adds.
Officials say people near rivers must be careful. The rain and wind could make rivers overflow. The disaster team tells local leaders to warn everyone. They must find safe places for people, keep important things dry, and watch the rivers and sky.
The rain keeps coming. People must stay alert. Storms are dangerous, but good planning can save lives. Follow warnings and help others. Small things, like cleaning drains or sharing news, can help a lot.
The weather is still bad. Farms could flood, roads could shut, and shops could lose money. Workers like Natthaphone and sellers like Jib are struggling. But if everyone helps, the damage will be less.
Leaders are watching the storm. They will share new updates if needed. Right now, safety is most important. Listen to leaders, stay away from danger, and get ready for problems. The storm will end, but smart choices now can keep people safe.
