Isolated thundershowers, gusty winds and hails forecast in upper Thailand

Isolated thundershowers, gusty winds and hails forecast in upper Thailand

The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Thursday (January 20) that the westerly trough moves through the North and the upper Central of Thailand while the southeasterly winds bring the moisture from the Gulf and the South China Sea to the lower Central and the East regions. Thundershowers, gusty winds and hails are forecast in these areas. People should beware of the severe condition by keeping off outdoor places, big trees and unsecured billboards. Farmers should prevent for crop damage.

The high-pressure system still covers the upper country and the South China Sea, resulting in cool to cold weather and light fog in the morning. Mountaintops in the North and the Northeast are cold to very cold with temperature in range of 7-15 °C. 

The Department also mentioned that the weak northeast monsoon prevails across the Gulf of Thailand and brings isolated thundershowers to the South.
 

The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is as follows:

North: Cool weather in the morning and thundershowers in 40 per cent of the areas with gusty winds and hails; temperature lows of 16-20 degrees and highs of 24-32 degrees Celsius. Temperature on hilltops is likely to drop to 7-14 degrees Celsius.
