Upper Thailand gets warmer by 1-3 °C, rains ease in the South
The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Friday (December 24) that the weak high-pressure system covers upper Thailand. Cool to cold weather and morning fog are likely in the North, the Northeast, the Central and the East with an increase in temperature by 1-3 °C.
The southeasterly wind prevails over the lower Northeast and the East and brings isolated rains to the areas. People should take care of their health due to variable weather. All transports should take more caution due to poor visibility.
Meanwhile, the weak northeast monsoon prevails across the Gulf and the South, causing less rains in the South. Waves in the Gulf are about a meter high and 1-2 meters high during thundershowers. All ships should proceed with caution and keep off thundershowers.
The department also mentioned that during December 26-30, the rather strong high-pressure system from China will extend to cover upper Thailand and bring isolated thundershowers and a decrease in temperature by 2-5 °C in the Northeast, the North, the Central and the East.
