Bangkok: The Meteorological Department has announced that the upper part of Thailand will experience colder weather with strong winds, resulting in a temperature drop of 1-2 degrees Celsius. Residents in these areas are advised to take precautions for their health due to the colder conditions. Additionally, thunderstorms are predicted in the southern regions. In Bangkok and its vicinity, the morning will be cool with strong winds and a slight temperature decrease.
According to Thai News Agency, the forecast for the next 24 hours indicates that the upper part of Thailand will continue to experience a temperature dip of 1-2 degrees Celsius. The public is urged to be cautious of fire hazards posed by the dry weather and strong winds. This weather pattern is due to a new high-pressure system or a relatively strong cold air mass from China affecting the region.
The northeast monsoon, impacting the Gulf of Thailand and the South, remains strong, leading to thunderstorms in the southern areas. The Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea are experiencing intensified wave activity. In the lower Gulf of Thailand, wave heights are expected to reach 2-3 meters, with even higher waves in areas experiencing thunderstorms. The upper Gulf of Thailand is expected to see waves approximately 2 meters high, while the Andaman Sea will have waves ranging from 1-2 meters. In locations far from the shore and those with thunderstorms, waves could exceed 2 meters.
Residents along the eastern coast of the South should remain cautious of the dangers posed by waves hitting the shore. Sailors navigating the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea are advised to proceed with caution and avoid areas with thunderstorms. Small boats in the Gulf of Thailand have been advised to refrain from departing the shore until January 28, 2025.
In Bangkok and its vicinity, the weather is expected to be cool in the morning with strong winds, with minimum temperatures ranging from 19-21 degrees Celsius and maximum temperatures between 30-32 degrees Celsius.
