Upper Thailand gets cooler, some rains forecast for lower regions

By THE NATION

 

 

The Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Monday (January 13) that the westerly trough at high altitude still blows cold air from the Himalayas to the North of Thailand while the weak high-pressure system covers upper Thailand and South China Sea.

 

Cool to cold mornings are still forecast with possible isolated patchy fog but fair skies during the day in the North and the Northeast. All transport should proceed with caution in foggy areas.

 

The department report also mentioned southeasterly winds blowing across the Central and the East including Bangkok and its vicinity, with isolated thundershowers. The Easterly winds over the South and the Gulf will reduce rains in the South.

 

The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is as follows:
