Thailand Issues Fresh Heat Warning as Temperatures Climb Health officials in Thailand have issued a warning over rising heatstroke risks as summer temperatures continue to intensify. Northern provinces have already hit 40C, while Bangkok reached 38C earlier this week, and forecasters expect persistently high daytime temperatures in the weeks ahead. Authorities noted that last year’s hot season brought 21 heat-related deaths, adding urgency to this year’s alert. Humidity is also expected to push the heat index even higher in some areas, making conditions feel more dangerous than the temperature alone suggests. Officials believe the North, Northeast, and Central regions may face even harsher heat than last year and are urging the public to take precautions.
