Upper Thailand to heat up
Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Saturday (November 16) that the high-pressure ridge covering upper Thailand is weakening, leading to a rise in daytime temperature of 1-2 °C but remaining cool and misty in the morning.
The moderate northeast monsoon across the Gulf and the South, meanwhile, will bring heavy rain to the South with wind whipping up the waves up to about 2 metres high in the lower Gulf and above 2 metres during storms. Ships should proceed with caution.
