Bangkok: The Meteorological Department has observed a shift in weather patterns, reporting an increase in temperatures across the upper regions of Thailand, though mornings remain cool. Meanwhile, the southern part of the country is expected to experience reduced rainfall.
According to Thai News Agency, the weakening of a high-pressure system or relatively strong cold air mass that was previously covering the upper parts of Thailand is responsible for the current rise in temperatures. Despite this increase, residents in the northern, northeastern, and central regions will continue to feel cooler morning temperatures. The department has advised individuals in these areas to monitor their health as they adjust to the fluctuating weather conditions.
In the South, the impact of the easterly winds over the Gulf of Thailand, the South, and the Andaman Sea is lessening, resulting in decreased rainfall. However, maritime conditions remain somewhat unstable, with waves in the lower Gulf of Thailand reaching around two meters in height, and even higher during thunderstorms. The upper Gulf of Thailand and the lower Andaman Sea are experiencing wave heights between one and two meters, with increased height further from shore and during storm conditions. The department has urged sailors to exercise caution and avoid navigating through storm-affected areas.
Additionally, the current weather conditions are influencing dust accumulation in the upper part of Thailand. The levels of dust and smog are reported to be moderate to high due to the weakening wind patterns in the region.
