Bangkok: Upper Thailand is experiencing rising temperatures accompanied by morning fog, while the northern region continues to endure cool to cold weather.
According to Thai News Agency, the Meteorological Department has reported that the current weather patterns are influenced by a weakening high-pressure area or cold air mass over the northeastern region. This change is leading to higher temperatures and morning fog in the upper part of Thailand, although the northern region remains cool to cold. The northeastern, central, eastern, and southern regions are expected to have cool mornings.
The department's 24-hour forecast indicates that mountaintops will experience cold to very cold conditions. Residents in these areas are advised to take precautions for their health due to the changing weather and to exercise caution when traveling through foggy areas. Meanwhile, moderate easterly winds are affecting the lower Gulf of Thailand and the South, bringing light rain to the southern region. The lower Gulf of Thailand is experiencing moderate sea conditions with waves between 1-2 meters high, prompting sailors to navigate carefully.
Dust and smog accumulation in the northern, central, and eastern regions, including Bangkok and its vicinity, is moderate to quite high. The tendency for dust accumulation is expected to remain constant or increase due to weakening winds.
