PRESS RELEASE:
The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has announced an expected increase in temperatures across Thailand, with a forecasted rise of 3-5C due to a reduction in cold air mass over the upper part of the country. This change is anticipated to bring the hottest conditions around noon, particularly in the North, Northeast, Central, and Eastern regions.
From Wednesday until Monday, the North and Northeast are set to experience temperature increases of 3-5C. During this period, there is a 20% chance of rain in both regions from Saturday (Feb 17) to Monday (Feb 19). The Central regions will also see temperatures rise by 3-5C, with rain expected in 10-20% of the area and gusty winds in the lower parts, where temperatures will range from 33-37C from Friday to Monday.
The East and the eastern sides of the South are forecasted to face a 3-5C temperature rise, with a 10-30% chance of rain and gusty winds. The western side of the South is also expecting rain in 10-20% of the area, with temperatures reaching 31-37C.
In Bangkok and its surrounding provinces, a similar increase of 3-5C is predicted. From Friday to Monday, there is a 10-20% chance of rain and gusty winds, with temperatures expected to be between 32-37C.
