Hold onto your hats, folks! Bangkok is in for a chilly surprise as a fresh blast of cold air from our northern neighbors in China is gearing up to make everyone’s morning slightly brisker. The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has forecasted that temperatures are set to dip by a noticeable 1 to 3 degrees Celsius. And while we’re talking weather, brace yourself for some lingering dust and haze. Thankfully, these nuisances are expected to clear up soon, like that cousin who overstays their welcome at parties.

This cold air mass is not just confined to Bangkok, oh no! It’s spread across northeastern Thailand and wafting over the upper stretches of the South China Sea, bringing a chill to the air and making strong-winded waves in the northeast and central regions. Meanwhile, a moderate northeast monsoon continues its reign over the Gulf of Thailand, the southern region, and the Andaman Sea, stirring up thunderstorms in the south. The good news? Stronger winds mean better ventilation, so the dust and haze clinging stubbornly to the skies of upper Thailand are expected to diminish.

For those dwelling in the northern realm, expect temperatures to dance between a crisp 12 to 17°C, while peaking gloriously at 30 to 35°C during the day. Mountainous areas won’t be missing out on the frosty fun, as temperatures hover between a freezing 6 to 14°C. Expect a gentle, yet persistent southeast breeze chugging along at 5 to 15 kilometers per hour, enough to remind you it’s winter.

Meanwhile, the northeast will experience a chilly encore performance as temperatures drop by a significant 4 to 6°C. Bundle up because it’s going to be cold with some assertive winds, pushing temperatures to their lowest at 11 to 14°C and a daytime high of 28 to 34°C. As you head towards the mountains, get ready for some seriously cold climates with temperatures floating between 7 to 11°C, all accompanied by northeast winds barreling through at 10 to 30 km/h.

Moving towards Central Thailand, mornings will greet you with a cool embrace and strong winds, with temperatures stepping down by 1 to 3°C. Over in the east, expect temperatures to dive to a low of 16 to 20°C, while reaching upwards of 34 to 36°C as the day progresses, carried on the wings of the east wind blowing at 10 to 25 km/h. Those residing in the eastern coastal regions might glance up to see some sprinkles of rain drifting by amidst the cooling breezes.

Now, let’s hit the southern trail! Expect cool mornings with a 30% chance of rain showers gracing places like Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat. Temperatures will settle between 20 to 25°C before climbing to 30 to 34°C. As the winds from Nakhon Si Thammarat head northward, they’ll gather speed at 15 to 35 km/h, and sea waves will rise to 1 to 2 meters high, surging over 2 meters in troubled waters. South of Songkhla, be ready as northeast winds soar to 20 to 35 km/h, with waves playing hide and seek at about 2 meters high, growing fiercer in storm-stricken areas.

On the southern (west coast) side of things, expect thunderstorms to rain joy on 20% of the terrain, with Phang Nga, Krabi, Trang, and Satun in their path. Daybreaks will start at a modest 23 to 25°C before the day heats to a balmy 33 to 35°C. Winds from the northeast will greet you at 15 to 30 km/h, with the sea offering gentler waves of roughly 1 meter, growing to exceed 2 meters when storms take over.

Finally, our dear Bangkok and its neighbors will greet the world with cool mornings and gusty winds, with temperatures dipping by 1 to 3°C. You’ll see readings from 18 to 21°C in the early hours, rising to heights between 33 to 36°C as the day moves along, with easterly winds waving goodbye at speeds of 10 to 25 km/h.
