At present, the temperature in Bangkok and surrounding areas is forecasted to experience a welcomed chill, with temperatures anticipated to drop to 25-27 degrees Celsius. The nation’s capital can expect mostly clear skies with little to no rainfall.
Current weather conditions are being influenced by a moderate-pressure ridge making its way through the eastern and southern upper regions and moving onward to the central South China Sea. Simultaneously, a powerful low-pressure system is sweeping over the central part of the southern South China Sea. This climate event is significantly impacting the lower southern region, the Gulf of Thailand and sections of the Andaman Sea.
This unique combination of weather patterns is set to bring about scattered thundershowers and bouts of heavy to intense rainfall over parts of the South. Inhabitants living in these areas have been cautioned about potential flash floods and landslides. This warning being particularly pertinent for residents residing near rivers and in low-lying locales.
Turning to marine conditions in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, sea waves are projected to rise up to an estimated height of approx. 1 meter. However, in regions experiencing thundershowers, the waves could achieve greater heights. Thus, operators of smaller vessels are advised to exercise extreme caution while navigating these waters. Particularly they are encouraged to avoid areas experiencing thundershowers all together for their safety.
All in all, this period calls for increased weather vigilance. While the dry and cooler weather may lend itself to enjoyable conditions in places like Bangkok, the same spell carries a threat of harsh, potentially dangerous weather for other parts of the country, specifically the lower southern region, the Gulf of Thailand, and portions of the Andaman Sea.
