Cool to cold weather in upper Thailand, isolated heavy rains in the lower South
The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Saturday (December 18) that the rather high-pressure system covers upper Thailand. Cool to cold weather and strong winds are likely over upper Thailand with a decrease in temperature by 2-4 °C. Mountaintops in the North and the Northeast are cold to very cold with temperature ranging from 3 to 13 °C. People should take care of their health due to variable weather.
Meanwhile, the active low-pressure cell over Malaysia causes isolated heavy rains in the lower South of Thailand. People should beware of the severe condition that may cause overflows and flash floods. Waves in the Gulf are about 2-3 meters high and over 3 meters high during thundershowers. People along the Gulf shore should beware of inshore surges. All ships should proceed with caution and keep off thundershowers. Small boats should keep ashore.
