Temperatures are expected to dip, and significant rain is forecast across various parts of Thailand today, the The Meteorological Department (TMD) warns.

 

Regions, including central Thailand, the east, and parts of the south are expecting a 60% chance of thunderstorms. Various factors, such as the intense southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea, upper Thailand, and the upper Gulf of Thailand, coupled with the low-pressure cell covering upper Vietnam, are contributing to the weather changes. The southwest monsoon is becoming stronger over the Andaman Sea, the upper part of Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand.

 

In the northern region, approximately 40% of the area, particularly in Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Nan, Uttaradit, Tak, Phichit, Phitsanulok, and Phetchabun province, prepare for thunderstorms. The minimum temperature is expected between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature could range from 34 to 36 degrees Celsius.

 

For the northeast, the TMD predicts thunderstorms in 60% of the area, with some heavy downpours in Kalasin, Mukdahan, Maha Sarakham, Khon Kaen, Amnat Charoen, Chaiyaphum, Nakhon Ratchasima, Buri Ram, Surin, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani provinces. The temperature will likely tank between 23 and 25 degrees Celsius, and reach a maximum between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, in central Thailand, approximately 40% of the area is predicted to experience thunderstorms. Heavy rain in some central provinces and provinces near the central region, primarily Uthai Thani, Kanchanaburi, Lopburi and Saraburi. Recorded figures show that the minimum temperature will lie between 24 and 25 degrees Celsius, with the maximum between 35 and 36 degrees Celsius.
