The Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Wednesday (January 15) that a high-pressure system remains over the Northeast of the country and the South China Sea while the westerly trough at high altitude still blows cold air from the Himalayas to the North and the upper Northeast. The mornings will be cool to cold with possible isolated patchy fog in the North and the Northeast.

 

The department also mentioned that the southeasterly winds prevailing across the Central and the East would bring thundershowers. The easterly winds still prevail across the Gulf with less rain possible in the South.

 

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

 

Northern region: Cool to cold with fog in the morning and thick patches in some areas, temperature lows of 13-22 degrees Celsius and highs of 30-35 degrees Celsius. Temperature likely to drop to 4-12 degrees on hilltops.

There will be no rain in the central part of Thailand, unless they mean mountainous areas, until Sunday. Poor forecast as usual. The weather department hadn't predicted the heavy rainfall that happened in early hours of Monday in Western Bangkok and Nonthaburi. It brought more than 60 mm of rain in some places. There was no forecast whatsoever about this event. It shows how difficult to predict with precision and how clueless they are.
