Cool to cold weather in Upper Thailand with light fog in the morning
The Meteorological Department said on Wednesday that a strong high-pressure system from China covering upper Thailand is weakening, resulting in cool to cold weather with light fog in the morning. Mountaintops will remain cold to very cold, with frost in some places.
Meanwhile, the moderate northeast monsoon prevails over the Gulf and the South. Waves are likely to be 2 metres high in the Gulf and above 3 metres in areas experiencing thundershowers, the department said, advising all ships to proceed with caution.
The department also said an active low pressure system over the lower South China Sea is expected to move to the Gulf during December 24 and 25. More rain and isolated heavy to very heavy showers will be likely in Chumphon, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, Ranong and Phang Nga. People in the South should beware of severe conditions that may cause flash floods, it added.
