According to the department’s 24-hour forecast, a high-pressure system or moderately strong cold air mass from China is covering upper Thailand and parts of the upper southern region.

Residents are advised to look after their health as temperatures fluctuate.
A monsoon trough extends through the middle southern region, linking to a low-pressure area near Vietnam’s southern tip. Moderate northeastern winds over the upper Gulf of Thailand and upper southern Thailand are expected to bring heavy rains in some areas. Citizens in these regions should be cautious of flash floods and runoff, particularly near mountainous terrain, waterways, and low-lying areas.
