Hot to very hot weather forecast for upper Thailand
The Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Thursday (March 12) that a thermal low covers upper Thailand, causing hot to very hot weather in the regions.
Meanwhile, the weak easterly winds across the Gulf bring less rain to the South.
From March 14-16, another high-pressure system from China will extend to upper Thailand and the South China Sea where many areas of the upper country have hot to very hot weather. The southwesterly wind will bring humidity from the South China Sea to the Northeast, the East, the Central and the lower North regions. This will also bring summer thunderstorms, thundershowers, gusty winds, hail, and possible lightning over the upper country.
