Heavy rainfall in Thailand could complicate the rescue of the youth Thai soccer team still trapped in a cave.
Although the boys have been found alive and healthy after nine days of being reported missing, attempts to drain flood water from canals would be in vain if poor weather persists.
The 12 boys and their coach are currently in a dry area within the cave accompanied by a Thai navy seal team, however, government officials are considering leaving the boys there with supplies until the canals clear, which could take months.
