The Thailand Meteorological Department says the north of the country is experiencing fog and scattered showers as a result of a high pressure system over the region. Temperatures are expected to drop by 1 – 3 degrees Celsius, leading to cooler mornings, especially in mountainous areas.

Meanwhile, the south of the country can expect more rain, with heavy downpours in some parts.

Tropical storm Nakri, which has now been upgraded to a category 4 storm, is still making its way over the South China Sea, heading in a south-westerly direction. Coastal areas of central Vietnam can expect heavy rain and strong winds tomorrow and Monday, November 10 and 11.

The TMD says the storm is not expected to affect Thailand but that travellers to Vietnam should keep up to date with the latest forecasts.
