BANGKOK, Thailand – The Thai Meteorological Department reports light rain in some areas of the lower northeastern and eastern regions. Meanwhile, Bangkok and its surrounding areas will experience cool weather with morning fog, and temperatures are expected to rise by 1-2°C.
A high-pressure system continues to cover upper Thailand, resulting in cool to cold weather in the northern and northeastern regions, with morning fog. Central Thailand, including Bangkok, the east, and upper southern regions, will remain cool with light morning fog. Frost may occur in some mountainous areas where temperatures are very low.
Moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, carried by easterly and southeasterly winds, is causing light rain in parts of the lower northeastern and eastern regions. Residents in upper Thailand are advised to take care of their health during the changing weather conditions and drive carefully in foggy areas. Farmers should prepare for potential impacts on crops.
The northeastern monsoon over the Gulf of Thailand and southern regions is moderate, resulting in limited rainfall in the southern region. Waves in the Gulf are approximately 2 meters high, with higher waves in thunderstorm areas. The Andaman Sea has waves around 1 meter high. Mariners are urged to proceed with caution and avoid sailing in stormy areas.
