Cool to cold weather prevails over upper Thailand
The Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Monday (February 3) that the high-pressure system over upper Thailand and the South China Sea is weakening and will cause morning fog as well as cool to cold weather with minimum temperatures in the range of 14-21 degrees Celsius in the North and the Northeast.
People in the upper regions have been urged to take health precautions while transporters have been told to exercise extra caution due to the poor visibility. The moderate easterly winds across the South will bring more rains to the South.
In the central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the weakening easterly winds across this area could increase dust pollution.
