Bangkok and northeast Thailand to see rain and cooler temperatures
The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has forecasted rainfall for Bangkok and northeastern Thailand with cooler morning temperatures tomorrow. Additionally, two other regions will experience similar weather patterns, with temperatures expected to drop between December 28 and December 30 due to strong winds and heavy rain in the south.
Tomorrow’s weather forecast indicates that a moderate high-pressure system is covering the upper part of Thailand, resulting in cool to cold weather with morning fog in the north and northeast. Similarly, the central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the east, and the upper south, will experience cool weather with some morning fog.
Mountainous areas will face cold to very cold conditions, with frost forming in certain locations. Meanwhile, the eastern and southeastern winds are bringing moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, impacting the lower northeast and eastern regions.
The TMD warns of light rain and cool to cold weather, cautioning residents in upper Thailand to maintain their health due to fluctuating weather conditions. It is advised to exercise caution while travelling through foggy areas.
The northeastern monsoon covering the Gulf of Thailand and the south is moderate, leading to limited rainfall in the lower southern region. The wind and waves in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea are moderate, with waves in the Gulf reaching approximately 2 metres and 1 metre in the Andaman Sea.
Waves could exceed 2 metres in stormy areas, prompting sailors to navigate cautiously and avoid sailing in stormy conditions. From December 28 to December 30, another strong high-pressure system will cover upper Thailand and the South China Sea, causing temperatures to drop and winds to intensify in the region.
Weather forecast
The south will see increased rainfall with heavy rain in some areas, and the wind and waves in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea will strengthen. Residents in the lower southern region should be vigilant for heavy rainfall and potential flash floods or overflowing rivers. Sailors in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea should take care and avoid sailing in stormy weather.
Dust levels are expected to accumulate in the upper part of Thailand due to weak winds and poor air circulation.

Mountain tops will be cold to very cold, with some frost.
