Temperature drop affects Lop Buri’s monkeys

The quick drop of temperature is affecting thousands of monkeys living around Lop Buri’s Phra Prang Sam Yot and San Phra Kan Shrine. Villagers say monkeys were shivering and cuddling each other during last night’s strong winds.

Some of the monkeys are staying in their shelter to keep warm. They’re also less likely to leave their shelters for food or play with each other as usual.

Lop Buri Disaster prevention and mitigation says that the temperature in the province quickly dropped by 1-5 degrees Celsius, with a low of 16 degrees this morning. The officials advise people to keep warm and monitor their health conditions to prevent illnesses that are more likely with cold weather such as the flu, asthma and and hay fever. Children and the elderly people should be under special care.
