Weather warning for northern Thailand with temperatures expected to rise
The Meteorological Department of Thailand (TMD) issued a weather warning for the northern region of Thailand today, as temperatures are expected to rise by 3 degrees Celsius. Some areas may experience rainfall. The southern region, meanwhile, is bracing for a storm with heavy to very heavy rainfall predicted. The sea is also expected to have waves higher than 2 metres.
The weather forecast for the next 24 hours shows that a high-pressure area or cold air mass is currently covering the northern part of Thailand and the South China Sea, but is weakening. This has resulted in fog in the morning and an increase in temperature by 1 to 3 degrees Celsius in the north of the country. However, the weather remains cool in the morning in the northern and northeastern regions.
The easterly winds are bringing moisture to the lower northern, lower northeastern, central, and eastern regions, causing occasional rain in these areas. The people in the north are advised to look after their health due to the changing weather conditions and to be cautious when travelling through areas with fog. Farmers should prepare to protect their crops from potential damage during this period, reported KhaoSod.
The northeastern monsoon that covers the Gulf of Thailand and the southern region is moderately strong, combined with a low-pressure area covering the eastern side of Malaysia. This has resulted in heavy to very heavy rain in the lower southern region.
The sea in the lower Gulf of Thailand is moderately strong with waves about 2 metres high. In areas with thunderstorms, the waves can be higher than 2 metres. The upper Gulf of Thailand has waves 1 to 2 metres high, and in areas with thunderstorms, the waves can be higher than 2 metres.
The Andaman Sea has waves about 1 metre high, away from the shore the waves are 1 to 2 metres high, and in areas with thunderstorms, the waves can be higher than 2 metres.
Heavy rainfall
People in the lower southern region need to be wary of heavy rainfall and accumulated rain, which could cause flash floods and forest runoff, especially in areas near mountain slopes, waterways, and lowlands. Boat operators should navigate with caution and avoid areas with thunderstorms.
The weather forecast for Thailand from 6am today to 6am tomorrow includes cool weather with fog in the morning in the northern, northeastern, central, and eastern regions. Temperatures will rise by 1 to 3 degrees Celsius with light rain in some areas.
The lowest temperatures in the northern and northeastern regions will be 16 to 22 degrees Celsius and 19 to 22 degrees Celsius, respectively. The highest temperature will be 30 to 33 degrees Celsius in both regions. The southern region will experience thunderstorms with heavy to very heavy rain in some areas. The lowest temperature will be 23 to 25 degrees Celsius, and the highest will be 28 to 32 degrees Celsius.
Bangkok and its vicinity will have fog in the morning, and temperatures will rise by 1 to 3 degrees Celsius with light rain in some areas. The lowest temperature will be 24 to 25 degrees Celsius, and the highest will be 32 to 33 degrees Celsius.
