Cool and foggy morning forecast in upper Thailand, isolated light rains in the South
The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Friday (January 14) that the westerly and southeasterly winds cover the upper North of Thailand while the high-pressure system covers upper Thailand and the South China Sea. Cool weather and morning fog are forecast in upper Thailand with isolated rains in some areas of the North.
Mountaintops in the North and the Northeast are cold to very cold with temperature ranging from 7 to 16 °C. All transports should take caution due to poor visibility.
The Department also mentioned that the northeast monsoon across the Gulf of Thailand and the South brings isolated light rains to the South.
During January 15-18, the westerly trough is expected to move pass the upper North and the upper Northeast and causes isolated thundershowers and gusty winds in the area.
