Upper Thailand gets colder, more rains forecast for South
Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Friday (January 31) forecast cool to cold weather in the Northeast, East and Central region with minimum temperatures ranging from 10-18 degrees Celsius.
The high-pressure area covering the Northeast, the East, the Central and the South China Sea would lower temperatures by 1-2°C.
Meanwhile, the stronger easterly winds across the South would bring more rain to the region.
In the central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the prevailing easterly winds would help decrease dust/smog. In the North, light winds in the morning would increase accumulation of dust/smog.
