Rain forecast for most of Thailand
Thunder showers and cloudy weather are forecast for most of Thailand except the northeastern region on October 2-3, the Thailand Meteorological Department announced on Wednesday (October 2).
The department attributed the weather conditions to a southwesterly trough passing through the North, Central, East and South and southeast winds in the Northeastern region, causing most of Thailand to see more rain and cloudy weather.
The department also warns anyone planning to travel to Korea on October 2-3 to monitor the local forecast, as Typhoon Mitag, now downgraded to a tropical storm, is moving from eastern China towards Korea bringing strong winds and heavy rain. The typhoon will have no direct effect on Thailand’s weather.
The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is as follows:
Northern region: Mostly cloudy with thunderstorms in 30 per cent of the area; temperature lows of 20-25 degrees and highs of 33-37 degree Celsius.
