Upper Thailand gets warmer, rains ease in the South

By THE NATION

 

 

The Thailand Meteorological Department said on Saturday that the weakening high-pressure system over upper Thailand would push temperatures up by 1-3 degrees Celsius.

 

 

Morning fog with isolated thick patches is also forecast for the upper country where cool to cold weather continues. Mountaintops are still cold to very cold. All transport should move with caution in the foggy areas, the departnent said.

 

Meanwhile, the weakening northeast monsoon across the Gulf of Thailand and the South brings moderate winds to the Gulf. Waves are expected to be 1-2 metres high in the lower Gulf. All ships should proceed with caution, the department said.

The weather forecast for the next 24 hours:

Just about perfect way up north.  Cool or even cold after dark but very warm close to hot around midday.  Sat outside at 9.30 with a cuppa , lovely.

I hope we get another month + of winter weather.  I realize it's only a hope.

"Upper Thailand gets warmer" 

That's true, somewhere between Noon and 4pm it's t-shirt weather, but once the sun hits the horizon the layers go on. Best time of year to get outdoor work done.

Not only the weather is warming up! Toxic 2.5 PM air pollution is going through the roof as well. Best to stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities until end of May when the burning stops.
