Cool weather in North, heavy rain in South, Nakri heads to Vietnam
A moderate high pressure trough sitting over Laos and the Northeast of Thailand will bring chilly mornings to the North and the Northeast as well as isolated thundershowers over the North and the East coast, the Thailand Meteorological Department said on Wednesday (Nov. 6).
The South, meanwhile, is likely to stay very wet thanks to a monsoon trough across the upper South. Category 3 tropical storm Nakri, meanwhile, is currently hovering over the South China Sea and moving slowly eastwards but is likely to take a turn to the west. While Central Vietnam will be affected by strong winds and heavy rains, Thailand is not likely to be impacted by the storm.
