Warmer weather forecast for upper Thailand with fog in the morning

By The Nation

 

Bangkok enjoys a clear sky on Sunday morning.

 

Rising temperature, as well as morning fog, thick in some areas, are forecast as a weak high-pressure system covers upper Thailand and the South China Sea. However, most of the North would be cool to cold, while mountaintops would be cold to very cold, the Thailand Meteorological Department said.

 

 

Isolated rain is expected in the Northeast, the Central and the East. All vehicles should exercise caution in the foggy areas, the department said.

 

Isolated rain is forecast for the South due to the weak northeast monsoon across the Gulf of Thailand.

 

From December 15-18, another rather strong high-pressure system from China would extend to upper Thailand with  temperatures falling by 2-3 degrees Celsius. Cool to cold weather with strong winds still cover the area. At the same time in the South, the northeast monsoon covering the Gulf will strengthen with more rain and some heavy downpour.

 

The forecast for the next 24 hours:

 

Bangkok: Morning fog and isolated light rain; minimum temperature 23-25 degrees Celsius, maximum 33-35°C;  northeasterly winds 10-20 kilometres per hour (kph).

 

North: Cool to cold with morning fog and isolated thick patches; minimum temperature 12-19°C, maximum 29-34°C; cold to very cold on mountaintops with minimum temperature 4-14°C;  northeasterly winds 10-20kph.

 

Northeast: Cool with morning fog and isolated thick patches; isolated light rain in the lower portion; minimum temperature 16-22°C, maximum 32-34°C; cold to very cold on  mountaintops with minimum temperature 8-12°C;  northeasterly winds at 10-20kph.

 

Central: Cool with morning fog and isolated light rain; minimum temperature 22-23°C, maximum 33-35°C;  northeasterly winds 15-20kph.

 

East: Morning fog and isolated light rain mostly in Chonburi, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat provinces; minimum temperature 23-25°C,  maximum 32-34°C;  northeasterly winds 15-30kph;  waves about a metre high and 1-2 metres offshore.

 

South (east coast): Partly cloudy with isolated thundershowers mostly in Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat provinces;  minimum temperature 22-24°C, maximum 31-33°C;  northeasterly winds 15-30kph;  waves about a metre high and 1-2 metres in thundershowers.

 

South (west coast): Partly cloudy with isolated thundershowers mostly in Phang-Nga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang and Satun provinces; minimum temperature 22-24°C, maximum 31-33°C;  northeasterly winds 15-30kph;  waves about a metre high and 1-2 metres offshore.

 

Seven-day forecast:

 

From December 12-14, the high pressure system covering upper Thailand is weakening. A 1-3°C increase in temperature with fog and dense fog is forecast for the upper country, but mornings will be cool to cold in the North and the Northeast. The weak northeast monsoon prevails over the Gulf and the South, bringing less rain. From December 15-18, another high pressure from China will extend to cover upper Thailand. Cool to cold weather with strong winds and a 2-3°C drop in temperature is likely in upper Thailand while mountaintops will be cold to very cold. The northeast monsoon prevailing over the Gulf and the South will strengthen, so more rain with isolated heavy rain is likely. Winds in the Gulf of Thailand will strengthen, with waves rising about two metres and above two metres in thundershowers.

 

The department has urged people in upper Thailand to beware of poor visibility from December 12-14. From December 15-18, people in upper Thailand should be careful of their health due to the variable weather. People in the South should beware of heavy rain. All ships in the Gulf of Thailand should proceed with caution, the department said.
