Thailand bracing for temperature drop due to cold blast from China

A new blast of cold air is set to lower temperatures by four degrees Celsius, warns the Meteorological Department of Thailand (TMD). This weather shift, prompted by a strong high-pressure system from southern China and northern Vietnam, is anticipated to affect the northeastern and eastern parts of Thailand today.

 

The cold weather and strong winds in the northeast are expected to result in a drop of 2-4 degrees Celsius while the eastern region will experience a 1-3 degrees Celsius decrease. With these sudden weather changes, residents in these regions are urged to take care of their health. The north-eastern monsoon over the Gulf of Thailand and the southern region is also intensifying, leading to increased cloud cover in the southern region.

 

The lower part of the Gulf of Thailand is expected to experience waves of 1-2 metres in height, with areas experiencing thunderstorms likely to have waves higher than 2 metres. Sailers and fishermen in the lower Gulf of Thailand are advised to avoid areas experiencing thunderstorms due to these conditions.


The current weather conditions are also resulting in an accumulation of dust particles/ smog in the lower northern, lower north-eastern, central including Bangkok, and eastern regions. This is attributed to the weak winds covering the area and poor air circulation.

I'm sure the accululation of particles in the air has nothing to do with it being sugar cane harvesting season...

Does anything any good ever come from China?

Yup. Much more than from wherever you are probably from. Peace and trade vs war and colonialism and imperialism.

The northern region will experience cool to cold weather with morning fog. The lowest temperature will be between 13-18 degrees Celsius and the highest will be between 30-35 degrees Celsius. The mountain tops will experience cold to very cold weather with some places experiencing frost. The lowest temperature will be between 4-12 degrees Celsius.

For Bangkok and its vicinity, there will be some fog in the morning. The lowest temperature will be between 23-25 degrees Celsius and the highest will be between 34-36 degrees Celsius. 

 

In other words the exact same as it has been at night for a month and a couple of degrees hotter during the day.

14C tonight in CM

....... 12° in the Pang Mapha valley of the Mae Hong Son province. We are the winners :sorry:.

Our dogs sleep now on warm towels on our protected entrance. Our young funny dog-darling scratched on the door, and we let him in for sleeping on a warm blanket overnight. Yesterday we didn't react immediately, then he barked ... successfully!
