Bangkok: The Meteorological Department has reported that the upper part of Thailand is expected to experience hot weather during the day, while some areas in the lower central region, including Bangkok and its surroundings, as well as the eastern region, may see thunderstorms. The southern region is anticipated to receive little rain.
According to Thai News Agency, the weather forecast for the next 24 hours predicts that the upper part of Thailand will be subjected to hot conditions during the day due to low pressure caused by heat over the area. The lower central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, along with the eastern region, may experience isolated thunderstorms. Residents are advised to take precautions for their health and avoid prolonged exposure to the heat in open areas.
The southern and southeastern winds currently affecting the region are responsible for the expected weather patterns. In the southern region, the weak easterly wind over the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea will result in minimal rainfall during this period.
