Cool to cold weather and strong winds forecast in upper Thailand
The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Saturday (November 27) that the rather strong high-pressure system covers upper Thailand, resulting in cool to cold weather and strong winds in the areas.
The monsoon trough lies across the lower South while the northeast monsoon prevailing across the Gulf of Thailand is weakening. Isolated heavy rains are possible in the South. People in the South should beware of the severe condition and rain accumulation that may cause flash floods and overflows. Waves are about 1-2 meters high in the Gulf of Thailand and over 2 meters high in thundershowers. All ships should proceed with caution.
