Drought affects millions in Thailand

The drought has hit 58 of Thailand’s 76 provinces, the government department responsible for disaster prevention said : "Most of them are in the north of the country, a region only just recovering from a choking haze caused by forest fires".
The government says scorching weather and lack of rain has left more than eight millions people in Thailand suffering a drought that is ruining their farmland.
The meteorological department warned that Thailand's northern, north-eastern, eastern and central provinces including Bangkok would face more hot weather in the next 24 hours.
