The Meteorological Department forecasts Northern and Northeastern Thailand will have cool weather in the morning and thunderstorms in some areas to the east of the Northeast, lower central and eastern regions.
A high-pressure area or cold air mass still covers the upper North and upper Northeast, along with a strong low-pressure cell on the coast of central Vietnam.
Westerly and northwesterly winds cover the Andaman Sea, the South and the Gulf of Thailand, causing heavy rain in some areas of the South.
Some areas of the lower Central and Eastern regions will experience thunderstorms. People in these areas should be aware of the dangers of heavy rain.
The waves in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand are moderate. The lower Andaman Sea will have waves approximately 2 meters high, while the upper Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand will have waves 1-2 meters high.
In areas with thunderstorms, waves will be higher than 2 meters. Sailors in the above areas should sail cautiously and avoid sailing in areas with thunderstorms.
