The Meteorological Department predicts that the weather in the North will be cooler as it has officially entered the winter season. High-pressure areas are covering the North and Northeast.
In addition, the westerly and northwesterly winds cover the Andaman Sea, the South, and the Gulf of Thailand, resulting in heavy rain in some areas of the South.
Due to the changing weather conditions, people in these areas should take care of their health and beware of dangers from heavy rain.
From November 2 to 5, another moderate to strong high-pressure area or cold air mass from China will spread to cover northern Thailand, the upper South, and the South China Sea.
This will initially cause thunderstorms and strong winds in some areas of the northern part of Thailand. After that, the temperature will drop, with cool weather and strong winds in the North and Northeast.
Temperatures will drop by 2-5 degrees Celsius.
The central region, including Bangkok and its vicinity, the eastern region, and the upper southern region will see temperatures drop by 1-3 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, the monsoon trough passes through the central southern region, causing heavy to very heavy rain in some areas.
