Agricultural area affected by drought

Agricultural areas (rice, cassava, animal feed corn, sugarcane) that suffered damage from drought. Drought in Thailand occurs in two periods: 1. The period from the cold season to the hot season, starting from the latter half of October. In the upper part of Thailand (Northern, Northeastern, Central, and Eastern regions), rainfall gradually decreases until the rainy season begins in mid-May of the following year. This type of drought occurs regularly every year. 2. The mid-rainy season, approximately from late June to July, when a dry spell occurs. This type of drought is localized to specific areas or regions, but may sometimes cover a wide area, nearly nationwide. Which areas in Thailand are affected by drought? Drought in Thailand mainly affects agriculture, resulting from a lack of rain or drought during the rainy season, and dry spells in June and July. The areas most affected by drought are the central part of the Northeastern region, as the influence of the Southwest Monsoon does not reach this area. If a tropical cyclone does not pass through the aforementioned path in a given year, it will cause more severe drought. In addition to the aforementioned areas, there are other areas that regularly experience drought problems, as shown in the table below.
