Cool to cold weather in Upper Thailand, isolated heavy rain in the South
Upper Thailand is experiencing cool to cold weather with a 1-3°C decrease in temperature and strong winds, while mountaintops are cold to very cold, the Meteorological Department said on Thursday as a rather strong high-pressure system from China covers the area.
Meanwhile, the strong northeast monsoon covers the Gulf and the South, bringing thundershowers and isolated heavy rain over the area. The department advised people in the South to beware of heavy rain, adding that waves in the Gulf are about 2 metres high and above 2 metres in areas with thundershowers. It instructed all ships to proceed with caution.
