Hot, hazy day forecast for upper Thailand, thundershowers in South
Upper Thailand will experience a hot to very hot day with haze, while some some areas will see thundershowers and gusty winds as southerly and southeasterly winds bring humidity from the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea, the Meteorological Department said on Wednesday, advising people to beware of the severe conditions.
The department also said an easterly wind prevails over the Gulf and the South, causing scattered thundershowers in the lower South.
Fom March 31-April 2, a low pressure cell over the Gulf of Bengal will move into the Andaman sea, bringing more rain to the South. Waves in the west coast will be more than 2 metres high during thundershowers.
