Just when you thought you were fully prepared for the New Year, the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has a chilly surprise in store! A cold spell, the second one this month, is set to sweep over the Land of Smiles. Brace yourselves for some brisk breezes and noticeably nippy temperatures from January 10 through January 13. It’s all thanks to a frosty high-pressure system from China that’s making its way over Thailand and into the South China Sea.

This cold wave promises to drop the mercury by a cool 5 to 7 degrees Celsius in the north and northeast. Meanwhile, Bangkok and the rest of the central region aren’t escaping the chill either, with temperatures set to dip by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius. So, dig out those extra blankets and maybe an extra scoop of hot soup too, as residents are advised to keep warm and be cautious of those pesky fire hazards brought on by the dry, windy conditions.

But wait, there’s more! The northeast monsoon is also expected to ramp up its game, bringing a torrent of rainfall and perhaps even some heavy showers for the southern regions. Seafarers beware: the Gulf of Thailand is set for some turbulent times with 2 to 4 meter waves, and in fiercer spots, waves could swell beyond 4 metres. Over in the Andaman Sea, expect shifty seas with wave heights reaching up to 3 meters offshore amid stormy spells.

So sailors, listen up: treat your small boats with kid gloves and stay securely docked from January 10 to 13. The TMD’s updates are a must-watch, and checking in via their website or hotline could save you from turning into an impromptu swimmer!

The upcoming days might see a slight warming trend across Upper Thailand, with temperatures expected to increase by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius, accompanied by a cloak of morning fog. Enjoy the ephemeral sunrises while you can as the cool to cold conditions are here to linger, especially in mountainous areas where temps might plunge to bone-chilling lows.

Keep your spirits warm, and your windows closed, as a fresh burst of pressure from China threatens to ruffle feathers again from January 10 to January 13. The northeast monsoon will be back with renewed vigor, probably delighting some plants with generous showers, and giving the Gulf and Andaman seaways enough punch to demand careful navigation once more.

If you thought January was a breeze, think again. Air quality woes persist in Upper Thailand, mainly helped along by stagnant air and weak gusts, so don’t shelve those masks just yet if you want to keep breathing easy.

Across various regions, it’s colder weather with some spots of delightful morning fog to expect. The Northern regions are treating you to a brisk min of 14°C, soaring up to a pleasant 32°C, and if you’re atop those peaks, it’s frigid with minimums between 5 and 11°C. Meanwhile, the North-eastern’s cues are similar but with a slightly tighter temperature grip.

The Central lands including bustling Bangkok anticipate minimums in the high teens and lows, not to forget those comforting 30-somethings during bright afternoons. Right by the sea on the eastern front? You’re getting the same cool vibes with a refreshing breeze riding twixt 15 to 30 km/h.

Heading down South, expect cool mornings and sporadic sprinkles on both coasts, though, temperatures linger comfortably in the low to mid-30°C range. Let’s just say, humidity won’t be the star of the show during this spell of steadier winds and kingly waves.

Hub-bub aside, Bangkok is expected to maintain its cool demeanor with temperatures gently rising but not exceeding the mid-30s. Moreover, mariners should be calculating with their crafts, particularly during those storm-friendly days when Neptune decides to tap into tempestuous tones.

So, whether you’re navigating Bangkok traffic, salting your sidewalk, or setting sail, keep your wits and serapes close as Thailand dances to January’s unpredictable tunes.
