As the gentle Thai sun plays hide and seek with the clouds, the bustling city of Bangkok braces for a cool embrace, with mercury dipping to a soothing 14-19 degrees Celsius. The urban tapestry of street vendors, tuk-tuks, and majestic temples will witness days where the highs will gracefully hover between 28 and 31 degrees. Far from the urban jungle, the North readies its warmest blankets, expecting to shiver through crisp mornings as temperatures tumble to a nippy 3-11 degrees. The keepers of the weather, The Meteorological Department, have turned their dials and forecasted that this delightful cool spell will waltz with us till the curtain drop on January 1, especially in the north and northeast.
But fret not, sun-seekers and vitamin D enthusiasts! The New Year brings promises of bright, golden days and comforting warmth, particularly beyond the realms of the North. Elsewhere, life will bask in the glow of sunnier skies and more forgiving temperatures.
The melody of the weather pattern strums a different chord over the Southern tapestry, where the tranquil beaches, peppered with palm trees swaying to the rhythm of the sea, find their temperatures nestled between a balmy 25 and 32 degrees Celsius. Rain, however, being the dramatic interlude, may present itself – sometimes with gusto, pouring down heavily upon the lower Southern sphere.
Allow your imagination to sail the high seas as the Gulf of Thailand churns up spirited waves reaching for the skies at 2 to 4 metres high, and even above 4 metres where the thunderstorms play the orchestra leaders. Meanwhile, the Andaman Sea, a serene masterpiece of nature, will maintain a semblance of calm, with waves rolling at a genteel 2 metres and occasionally flexing their might to reach 2-3 metres near mystical horizons.
Sailors and wanderers of the sea, hear this! Small vessels, keep your secrets and treasures tucked away on terra firma for this spell, for the seas are whispering tales of might and mystery, not suitable for your delicate crafts. As the New Year approaches with its cascade of festive lights, stay ashore and let the stories unfold from the safety of the land, till Neptune deems it fair to venture once again into his liquid kingdom.
