BANGKOK, Thailand – The Thai Meteorological Department has reported that a cold air mass from China is covering Northern and Northeastern Thailand, bringing cool morning temperatures with lows between 17–21°C in lowland areas and 9–16°C on mountain peaks.
In its 24-hour weather forecast, the department advises residents in upper Thailand to be mindful of fluctuating weather conditions for their health. Meanwhile, a monsoon trough over southern Thailand and northern Malaysia, combined with moderate northeasterly winds across the upper Gulf of Thailand and upper Southern Thailand, is expected to bring heavy to very heavy rainfall in some areas of the South. Residents should be on high alert for possible flash floods and runoff, especially near slopes, waterways, and low-lying areas.
Waves in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea are moderate, reaching 1-2 meters in the Gulf and around 1 meter in the Andaman Sea. Thunderstorms may cause waves to exceed 2 meters. Boaters in these regions should exercise caution and avoid sailing in stormy conditions.
Meanwhile, Typhoon “Yinxing” has weakened to a strong tropical storm over the northern South China Sea, with a forecasted path toward Hainan Island, China, and the central coast of Vietnam between November 11-12. The storm is expected to weaken further to a depression and then to a low-pressure area, posing no direct threat to Thailand. Travelers to affected regions are advised to monitor weather conditions.
