The Meteorological Department has reported that a high pressure cell from China is moving to cover Thailand’s northern region, bringing the mercury down further. Frost has been spotted on mountain peaks.
In the North, temperature has dropped to 13 degree while mercury plummeted to 3 degree in mountainous areas.
Average temperatures in Bangkok and its vicinity have also plunged down to 18 degree.
