PATTAYA, Thailand – The Thai Meteorological Department reports that rainfall is decreasing in northern Thailand while temperatures are rising. Residents are advised to take care of their health due to changing weather conditions. Meanwhile, thunderstorms and heavy rain are expected in some areas of the southern region.
According to the 24-hour weather forecast, a weakening high-pressure system or moderate cold air mass covering northeastern Thailand and the South China Sea has caused easterly and southeasterly winds bringing moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand to weaken over northern Thailand. As a result, the region will see reduced rainfall and rising temperatures. Authorities urge residents to be cautious of fluctuating weather conditions.
In the South, moderate easterly and southeasterly winds prevail over the Gulf of Thailand, southern Thailand, and the Andaman Sea, bringing thunderstorms and heavy rain in some areas. The lower Gulf of Thailand is experiencing moderate sea conditions, with waves reaching 1-2 meters in height and over 2 meters in stormy areas. The upper Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea have waves around 1 meter high. Fishermen are advised to navigate carefully and avoid sailing in stormy conditions.
