Bangkok: The upper part of Thailand is experiencing cool weather with thunderstorms expected in certain areas, as reported by the Meteorological Department. A mild cold air mass currently covers the upper North and Northeast regions, resulting in cooler morning temperatures. Thunderstorms are anticipated to persist in the upper part of Thailand during this period.
According to Thai News Agency, the Meteorological Department forecasts that a high-pressure area or slightly cold air mass will continue to affect the upper North and upper Northeastern regions over the next 24 hours. This weather pattern will maintain the cool morning conditions in these areas. A low-pressure cell near the central Vietnam coast and westerly and northeasterly winds in the central and eastern regions will lead to thunderstorms in the upper part of Thailand. Westerly and northwesterly winds will also impact the Andaman Sea, the South, and the Gulf of Thailand, bringing heavy rain to some southern areas. Residents are advised to take
health precautions and be cautious of potential dangers due to the heavy rain.
The Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand are expected to have sea waves approximately 1 meter high, with waves exceeding 2 meters in areas experiencing thunderstorms. Sailors are advised to exercise caution and avoid areas with thunderstorms.
Furthermore, between November 2-5, another moderate to strong high-pressure area or cold air mass from China will spread across the upper part of Thailand and the South China Sea. This will initially cause thunderstorms and strong winds in some areas of upper Thailand, followed by a temperature drop with cool weather and strong winds. The northern and northeastern regions will see temperatures decrease by 2-4 degrees Celsius, while the central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the eastern region, and the upper southern region will experience a temperature drop of 1-3 degrees Celsius. The monsoon trough passing through the central southern region is expected to cause heavy to very h
eavy rain in some southern areas.
