The high-pressure system covering upper Thailand is weakening but the cold weather and light fog in upper Thailand will continue, the Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Friday (January 3).

Minimum temperature will be in the range of 16-23 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the stronger northeast monsoon prevailing across the lower Gulf of Thailand and the lower South will trigger waves up to 2-3 metres high and more than three metres high when there are thundershowers. Ships have been advised caution while small boats must keep ashore until January 5, the forecast said.
During January 3-5, the westerly trough moves to Myanmar and the upper North of Thailand, bringing isolated thundershowers and gusty winds.

The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is as follows:
Northern region: Cool weather with fog in the morning and thundershowers in 10 per cent of the area, temperature lows of 16-20 degrees Celsius and highs of 30-33 degrees Celsius. Temperature likely to drop to 6-14 degrees on hilltops with frost in some areas.
