Cool morning but hot, hazy day in some regions
A low-pressure heat system is covering upper Thailand and will bring hot weather with haze during the day, but the morning remains cool in this region and the upper Northeast due to a westerly wind from the Himalayan range, while the Gulf and the Andaman Sea will see weak wind and waves amid an easterly breeeze across the Gulf of Thailand, the Meteorological Department said on Thursday.
From February 28 to March 3, another moderate high pressure system will cover the Northeast while southerly, southeasterly winds will bring humidity from the South China Sea to the lower Northeast, the Central region, the East and Bangkok and its vicinity, the department also said. It forecast some hot days across the country though with thunderstorms and gusty winds in some areas.
