Cool to cold weather with morning fog in upper Thailand, less rains in the South
The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Monday (December 13) that the moderate high-pressure system covering upper Thailand brings cool to cold weather and light fog in the morning in the North, the Northeast, the Central and the East. Mountaintops in the North and the Northeast are still cold to very cold. People should take care of their health due to variable weather and be careful of poor visibility. Farmers in the upper North should prepare for crop’s damage.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon across the Gulf and the South is weakening and leads to less rains and isolated thundershowers of the lower South.
The department also mentioned that another high-pressure system over upper Vietnam and Laos is expected to move to the Northeast of Thailand by today. In the next few days it will cause the temperature to drop by 1-3 °C in the North and the Northeast and 1-2 °C in the Central and the East.
The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is as follows:
