Gusty winds and isolated heavy rains forecast for upper Thailand
Residents in the upper part of Thailand would experience variable weather until Thursday (October 3), the Thai Meteorological Department said on Sunday.
The department predicts the moderate high pressure system and monsoon trough to bring variable weather, gusty winds and isolated heavy rains in the upper country.
Isolated very heavy rains are possible in the North, Central and East, including Bangkok and surrounding areas, the department said.
Temperature in the Northeast is expected to fall by 1-3 degrees Celsius.
“People in upper Thailand should beware of heavy to very heavy rains and accumulations that may cause flash flood and overflows, especially along foothills near waterways and lowlands,” the department said.
The department added that people in upper Thailand should stay healthy due to the changeable weather.
