Temperature rise in Thailand as cold air pressure decreases

[webfact]

 

The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) reports a decrease in cold air pressure, resulting in a rise in temperature by 1 to 3 degrees Celsius. Southern regions are experiencing heavy rainfall, with eight provinces affected as of 5am today.

 

The forecast for the next 24 hours indicates that the high-pressure area or cold air mass covering the upper part of Thailand is weakening.

 

This condition has caused the temperature in these regions to increase by 1 to 3 degrees Celsius. Residents in the northern part of Thailand are urged to remain vigilant and look after their health due to the rapidly changing weather conditions. The northeast monsoon prevailing over the Gulf of Thailand and the Deep South remains moderate, coupled with a low-pressure trough covering the eastern part of Malaysia. This condition is leading to heavy rainfall in some areas in the lower South.

The TMD warns of reduced temperatures and strong winds, with intense monsoon rains in South Thailand. Waves in the lower Gulf of Thailand are of moderate strength, reaching about 2 metres in height. Areas experiencing thunderstorms can expect waves higher than 2 metres.

The upper Gulf of Thailand is experiencing waves of 1 to 2 metres in height, and areas with thunderstorms can expect waves higher than two metres. The Andaman Sea has waves about 1 metre high, with waves reaching 1 to 2 metres further offshore. Areas experiencing thunderstorms can expect waves higher than 2 metres.
