Thailand’s Meteorological Department has announced that the 2024 winter season is set to begin on 29 October 2024 and is expected to last until late February 2025. This season is anticipated to be colder than last year, with December 2024 to January 2025 marking the coldest period.

 

According to Dr. Sukanyaniyawinyacharn, Acting Director-General of the Meteorological Department, the onset of winter is assessed by three factors: a consistent drop in temperatures below 23°C across northern Thailand, a shift to northeast and east winds at lower altitudes, and a gradual decrease in rainfall. This year’s winter season is estimated to start two weeks later than average.

 

Average minimum temperatures in northern Thailand are expected to be between 20-21°C, slightly lower than last year’s 21.6°C. Bangkok may experience lows of 16-18°C, with surrounding areas dipping to 14-16°C.

 

The lowest temperatures, approximately 6-8°C, are anticipated in the mountains and peaks of the North and Northeast regions, where frost is also possible.

 

The southern regions will experience cooler weather in some areas, but heavy rain and strong winds will persist, especially around the Gulf of Thailand.

 

Sea waves in the Gulf may reach 2-3 meters, with occasional highs of 3-5 meters due to low-pressure systems or tropical storms in November and December. Residents are advised to monitor weather updates for any significant changes.

I don't care if it's going to be colder. I want it to be longer. By the way there is no such thing as winter in the tropics.
