Rise in temperature forecasted for Thailand’s northern regions

Thailand’s Meteorological Department forecasted a rise in temperature by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius in the northern and northeastern regions. Along with cool weather, fog is expected in the morning. There are warnings for heavy rain in the four southern provinces.

The high-pressure area or cold mass covering Thailand and the South China Sea is weakening. This change is leading to an increase in temperature across the country, accompanied by morning fog. The northern and northeastern regions will continue to experience cool to cold weather. The public in the upper part of the country is advised to take care of their health due to changing weather conditions and be cautious while travelling through foggy areas.

The moderate northeastern monsoon prevailing over the Gulf of Thailand and the South continues to cause heavy rainfall in some areas of the lower South. Those living in the lower South are advised to beware of dangers from heavy and accumulated rain, leading to flash floods, especially in mountainous areas near watercourses and in low-lying areas. Winds in the Gulf of Thailand are moderate, with waves in the lower Gulf about 2 metres high. In areas with thunderstorms, waves are more than 2 metres high. The Andaman Sea has waves 1 to 2 metres high, with waves more than 2 metres high in areas with thunderstorms.

The current dust conditions: The upper part of Thailand tends to have an increase in dust particle/smog accumulation due to weakening winds and moderate air ventilation, reports Sanook.
