After days of extreme rainfall that already saturated soils across the country, unstable atmospheric conditions are set to bring another round of erratic, stormy weather on May 11, raising fresh concerns over flooding and agricultural damage.
Early on Monday morning, moderate to locally severe rain showers are already sweeping across inland regions, while scattered light precipitation is also expected along coastal areas. Through the remainder of the morning, persistent overcast skies will dominate. Combined with lingering moisture and limited sunlight, the conditions will create a stuffy, oppressive atmosphere for residents across the nation.
Starting in the afternoon, the probability of more intense precipitation will climb steadily. Widespread moderate to heavy downpours are forecast to hit both coastal and inland zones, with many areas likely to see thunderstorms and localized gusty winds. Because the soil is already completely saturated from previous days of heavy rain, low-lying regions and poorly drained roadways face an elevated risk of renewed waterlogging and flooding.
Among the most at-risk sectors are agricultural areas, which remain particularly vulnerable to additional damage from the ongoing streak of excessive rainfall, with crop losses and field saturation already reported in many hard-hit regions.
