Cool in the North, wet in the South
Another high pressure system is covering upper Thailand causing morning fog and isolated showers, according to Thailand Meteorological Department’s forecast on Friday (Nov 8). The North and the Northeast will see the temperature dropping by 1-3 °C and chilly mornings while the South will be consistently wet, with heavy downpours in some areas.
The department also warned that tropical storm Nakri, now upgraded to a category 4, is over the middle South China Sea and moving slowly southwest. It is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to coastal areas of Central Vietnam from November 10-11 but is unlikely to impact Thailand. Travelers should keep updated on the progress of the storm.
