The Meteorological Department reports that Chiang Rai and other parts of Northern Thailand will experience colder weather with strong winds, with temperatures dropping by another 1–3 degrees Celsius from Nov 29 – Dec 1.
A high-pressure area or relatively strong cold air mass from China will cover Northern Thailand. This will cause the upper part of Thailand to experience colder weather with strong winds.
In the early morning, temperatures in Chiang Rai will hit 17°C and 22°C in the afternoon in low-lying areas. Mountainous areas like Phu Chi Fah will experience 9°C in the early morning and 17°C in the afternoon.
People in these areas should take care of their health due to the colder weather and be careful of the dangers of fires that may occur due to the dry weather and strong winds.
