Hot and hazy day with thundershowers, gusty winds in upper Thailand

The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Tuesday that a heat low cell covers upper Thailand, leading to rise in temperature and haze during the day.

The southwesterly winds bring moisture from the Andaman Sea and the Gulf to the lower North, the Northeast, the Central including Bangkok and its vicinity, and the East regions.

Thundershowers with gusty winds are forecast in some areas of upper Thailand.

People should beware of the severe weather conditions, the department said.

The southerly and the southwesterly winds prevail across the Andaman Sea and the South, causing thundershowers in the South.
