The Meteorological Department on Monday reaffirmed its warning that heavy rain would hit many parts of the country, followed by a sharp drop in temperatures.

 

In its tenth urgent warning of unpredictable weather, issued at 5 am on Monday, the department attributed the changing conditions to a strong high pressure ride from China that is covering upper Vietnam and is expected to move down to cover Thailand’s Northeast later in the day.

 

The department said people should expect thunderstorms and showers throughout the week, accompanied by strong winds and a drop in temperature by 6-8 Celsius.

 

The unseasonal weather will first occur in the Northeast, followed by the North, the East and Central areas, the statement said, adding that Bangkok and surrounding areas would also experience heavy rainfall and falling temperatures.

 

A strong northeast monsoon is spreading across the Gulf and this will also lead to heavy rain and isolated torrential downpours in the South, the department said.

I think it's very seasonal, after all this winter?

My weather app still says 34 degrees for most of the week, sunny and partly cloudy. 

cool and breezy here in NongKhai, soooo nice!

33 Celsius here in Bangkok. I can feel Songkran heat coming!

35c in Nakhon Sawan, I think it's already here

so beautiful. lovely weather. 

Seems that horrible arctic weather isn't hitting Pattaya. Nice warm weather, the wind seems to come from an unusual direction though.

I am okay with the cooler temps, but hope the rain that is forecast is not too much. It cramps my style man!

Geezer

They will be dying of the cold if it hits below 20!
