Flooding driven by heavy rain in southern Thailand has killed at least nine people and displaced more than 13,000, officials said on Nov 30, as rescue teams using boats and jet skis worked to reach stranded residents.

Local media footage showed residents wading through murky, chest-deep water and cars submerged in flooded streets.

"Flooding across eight provinces in southern Thailand has affected 553,921 households and claimed nine lives, prompting agencies to mobilise urgent assistance," the country's disaster agency said on its official Facebook page. More than 13,000 people were forced to flee their homes, with temporary shelters set up in schools and temples, it added.

Heavy rains this week triggered widespread flooding across several Malaysian states, forcing over 80,000 people to evacuate and leaving four dead, officials said on Friday.

Disaster officials said that four people have died across the states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Sarawak. And officials at the National Disaster Command Centre confirmed that 80,589 people were moved to 467 temporary shelters across seven states.

The disaster centre confirmed deployment of search and rescue teams to assist operations in affected regions, particularly in Kelantan. The northeastern regions of Kelantan and Terengganu experienced the most severe impact.

At least 27 have died after flash floods and landslides hit the north of Indonesia's Sumatra island.

Torrential rain started striking North Sumatra province last week, causing flash floods and landslides in four districts, with extreme weather expected through to the end of the year.

As of Thursday morning, at least 27 have died as a result of the conditions.

At least 12 people have been killed due to flooding and landslides in Sri Lanka, authorities said on Thursday.

Rescue teams said they had recovered the bodies of four children who were swept away by the floodwaters while they were riding on a tractor in the town of Eravur on the east coast.

Others remain missing after torrential rains, flash floods and landslides caused devastation in eastern and central parts of the South Asian country.

The powerful but slow-moving storm, which is now heading toward India, has forced more than 250,000 people in Sri Lanka to flee their homes, according to the island nation's Disaster Management Center.
