Thundershowers forecast for upper Thailand

Southeasterly winds and a southerly prevail over the East and the Central regions, including Bangkok and its vicinity, while weak easterly winds blow across the Gulf, the department said. Cool mornings continue in the North and the Northeast, while light fog and an increase in temperature during the day are forecast for the upper country.
From March 3-5, another high pressure will extend to upper Thailand and the South China Sea, resulting in thundershowers with gusty winds over upper Thailand, the department said.
People in the upper part of the country have been advised to stay safe from severe conditions and beware of big trees and unsecured billboards that could be brought down by the winds. Farmers are advised to prepare for damage to crops.
