Heavy Rain Triggers Flood Warnings, Alerts Across Japan, UK, Thailand

Heavy rainfall and flooding risks are impacting multiple regions globally, prompting widespread warnings and safety advisories. In the U.S. Midwest, a Flood Watch is in effect along and south of a Terre Haute to Indianapolis to Muncie line due to locally heavy rains, with conditions improving by Father's Day. Japan is experiencing intense rains along the Pacific coast and other regions, with some areas expecting over 180 millimeters of rain, raising concerns about landslides and swollen rivers; the Japan Meteorological Agency declared the rainy season onset in several regions and issued tiered evacuation alerts to protect vulnerable populations. In the UK, heavy rains have led to flood warnings across Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset, with the Environment Agency urging immediate action due to fast-flowing floodwaters. In Thailand's Sakon Nakhon Province, flash floods caused by storms have damaged farmland, roads, and property, with local authorities actively monitoring the situation and assisting affected residents and livestock. Across these affected areas, officials emphasize vigilance and preparedness as heavy rains continue to threaten lives and infrastructure.
