Cooler weather for much of Thailand, rain for the South


BANGKOK: A high-pressure system covering Thailand could see temperatures in Bangkok drop to as low as 16°C today (Jan 13) and will be exacerbated by strong winds.

In upper Thailand, particularly in the northern and northeastern regions, the weather remains very cold, with frost on mountain peaks and temperatures as low as 2°C.

Residents in affected areas are advised to take care of their health due to the colder weather and to be cautious of fire hazards caused by dry conditions and strong winds.

The strong northeast monsoon continues to dominate the Gulf of Thailand, the southern region, and the Andaman Sea, leading to isolated thunderstorms.

Wind and wave conditions are intense, with waves in the Gulf of Thailand reaching heights of 2–4 metres and exceeding 4m in areas with thunderstorms.

Residents along the eastern coast of southern Thailand should exercise caution due to strong waves hitting the shore. Mariners are urged to navigate carefully and avoid areas with thunderstorms. Small boats in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea are advised to remain ashore. - The Nation/ANN
