Meteorological Dept warns of extreme heat in upper Thailand, avoid open areas
The Meteorological Department reports extreme heat in upper Thailand, advising people to avoid open areas. Thunderstorms may occur in the lower central region, Bangkok, its vicinity, and the eastern region, while rainfall decreases in the south.
24-Hour Weather Forecast
Upper Thailand will generally experience hot daytime weather, with some areas facing extreme heat. Thunderstorms may occur in some parts of the lower central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, as well as the eastern region.
This weather pattern is due to a low-pressure system caused by heat covering upper Thailand, while southerly and southeasterly winds prevail over the area. Residents in upper Thailand are advised to take care of their health and avoid prolonged exposure to outdoor heat.
Weak easterly winds are covering the Gulf of Thailand, the southern region, and the Andaman Sea, resulting in minimal rainfall in the south during this period.
Air Quality and Dust Accumulation:
Dust and haze accumulation in the northeastern region remains at a moderate level. Meanwhile, air circulation in the central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, and the eastern region is good, keeping dust levels under control.
