BANGKOK, Thailand – The Thai Meteorological Department reports that northern and northeastern regions of Thailand are experiencing cool mornings due to changing weather conditions, urging residents in these areas to take care of their health. Meanwhile, heavy to very heavy rain is expected in parts of the southern region.
A moderate high-pressure system or cool air mass from China continues to cover upper Thailand and the South China Sea, leading to cooler morning temperatures in the northern and northeastern regions.
