Hot temp, cool morning and thundershower in upper Thailand

This forecast comes as a heat low-pressure cell covers the North, while a weakening high-pressure system over upper Thailand is leading to rising temperatures and haze during the day across the region.

Cool mornings are expected in the Northeast, while the southwesterly wind prevails over the North, bringing isolated thundershowers to the upper North.

“People in the upper country should keep healthy due to changeable weather,” the department advised.

In the South, a moderate easterly wind dominates over the Gulf, the Andaman Sea and the South, with isolated thundershowers in the lower South.

Moderate winds and waves in the lower Gulf are expected to reach one to two metres high, while waves in the upper Gulf and the Andaman Sea are likely to be about one metre high, rising to over two metres in thundershowers.

“All ships in the Gulf and the Andaman Sea should proceed with caution and keep off thundershowers,” the department warned.
