South warned of high waves and flash floods, cooler weather for upper Thailand

The strong northeast monsoon across the Gulf of Thailand will bring rain with isolated heavy showers to the South of Thailand, the Meteorological Department said on Friday (November 29).

Strong winds from Surat Thani northward will whip waves up to 2 metres and from Nakhon Si Thammarat southward up to 4 metres, rising even higher during storms. All ships should proceed with caution and stay away from heavy weather. Run off from rainfall and flash foods are likely on the Gulf side of the coast.
In the upper part of Thailand, the department forecast cool weather in the morning with fair skies. The North and Northeast plateaus will experience temperatures between 16-22 °C while the mountains will be considerably colder at 8-15 °C.

 

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