December 6 weather: Stormy south, foggy north, and light rain in Bangkok
Thailand’s Meteorological Department (TMD) issued a weather alert today, December 6, warning of increased rainfall in the south and dropping temperatures in the north and northeast. Bangkok and nearby provinces are also expected to see light rain and moderate dust levels.
From now until tomorrow morning, scattered heavy rain is expected in parts of the south, particularly in Chumphon, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Ranong, Phang Nga, and Phuket. The TMD also noted strong winds and high waves in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea.
Meanwhile, upper Thailand will continue to experience cool to cold mornings, with isolated rain in the lower north, lower northeast, and east. A moderate high-pressure system from China is pushing cool air across northern and northeastern Thailand and the South China Sea. This is drawing in easterly moisture, affecting the northeast, central, eastern, and southern regions, as well as the Gulf of Thailand.
Air quality in Bangkok, the central plains, north, and east remains moderate, as rainfall temporarily suppresses the buildup of PM2.5 dust and haze.
