Weather woes in Thailand and Japan


Most of you would have read about the boys and coach trapped in a cave due to heavy rain and flood for two weeks.


The heavy rain brought by the monsoon has also lead to another disaster. The Phoenix, a boat which ferry tourists to the islands in Phuket for snorkelling,  had 105 people on board  and went down in bad weather on Thursday 5 July evening.

In Japan, heavy rain has lead to landslides and flooding resulting in loss of lives, displacement of the people from their homes.
