The Thailand Meteorological Department (TMD) is cautioning locals and visitors about a potential storm system moving into the region. High chances of heavy rainfall and cooler temperatures are predicted throughout the different provinces. Central Thailand, the east and parts of the south, are advised to prepare for considerable changes to the weather due to these climatic conditions.
This developing weather pattern is influenced by several factors. Key among them is the powerful southwest monsoon looming over the Andaman Sea, upper Thailand, and the upper Gulf of Thailand. Additionally, a low-pressure system coming from Vietnam’s northern region is adding to the intensity of the looming weather changes. Expect vigorous activities of the southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea, upper Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand.
Northern region
In the northern region, several provinces, including Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Nan, Uttaradit, Tak, Phichit, Phitsanulok, and Phetchabun province should expect storms. Daytime temperatures might peak between 34 to 36 degrees Celsius, while nighttime lows may hover between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius.
