Today’s weather: Northern Thailand cools down

Weather conditions across the northern region of Thailand today experienced a dip in temperatures by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius. The peaks of the mountains were particularly cold, with temperatures dropping to 4 degrees. The lowest temperature in Bangkok was 22 degrees.

This weather change is due to a high-pressure system and another wave of cold air mass from China covering the northeastern part and the South China Sea, while the western wind at the upper level continues to blow over the upper northern region.

These conditions resulted in cooler temperatures in the upper northern region of Thailand, with wind gusts in the northeastern region. The northern and northeastern regions experienced cold to cool weather in the morning. The central, eastern, and upper southern regions were cool in the morning.

The mountain peaks in the northern region had cold to very cold weather with frost in some areas, with the lowest temperatures ranging between 4 and 10 degrees Celsius. The mountain peaks in the northeastern region were cold, with the lowest temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius.

People in Thailand are advised to take care of their health due to the continuing cool weather in the morning during this period, reports Sanook.

The northeastern monsoon covering the Gulf of Thailand and the South has intensified. This has caused the lower southern region to experience isolated thunderstorms. The waves in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea are moderate.
