Unpredictable weather in Chiang Rai: Dense fog, thunderstorms and temperature swings

Featured Replies

In a sudden shift of weather, Chiang Rai has experienced three seasons in a single day. Dense fog blanketed the city in the morning, limiting visibility to less than a kilometre, followed by thunderstorms in some areas.

 

Afternoon temperatures peaked at 32 degrees Celsius before plunging to 19 degrees in the evening. The unpredictable weather has prompted public health warnings.

 

This dense fog has significantly impacted road visibility, reducing it to less than 1 kilometre. As a result, motorists are urged to lower their speed for safety. This weather anomaly was accompanied by a southern monsoon, prompting warnings for 19 provinces, including Bangkok. Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavison has yet to mandate working from home, despite the capital grappling with PM 2.5 dust particles, reported KhaoSod.

 

The Meteorological Department of Thailand (TMD) forecasted that high atmospheric pressure or a cold mass would blanket the upper northeast and the South China Sea.

If he did mandate that, it would mean admitting that pollution is an issue, cannot scare off potential tourists.

That's not fog it's the daily pollution haze.

Then if the visibility is one mile it's not dense fog. So what is it in reality?
