The same weather pattern is expected in the southern region, while the upper northeastern part of Thailand will experience cooler temperatures in the mornings.
According to the 24-hour weather forecast, easterly and southeasterly winds are bringing moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand over the lower central region, including Bangkok, the surrounding areas, and the eastern region. As a result, scattered heavy rainfall is expected in these areas. The northeastern region is being affected by a weak high-pressure system, leading to cool mornings in the upper areas. Residents in northern Thailand are advised to take precautions due to changing weather conditions.
In southern Thailand, a monsoon trough is passing through the lower part of the region, leading to heavy rainfall in some areas. Residents, especially those living near mountain slopes and watercourses, are warned of potential flash floods and landslides due to accumulated rainfall.
