Sweltering Temperatures Grip the Nation

Hot Weather Dominates Most Regions

Thailand is experiencing a hot day with temperatures soaring across most parts of the country. The Thai Meteorological Department predicts maximum temperatures ranging from 35°C to 40°C in various regions. This intense heat is attributed to a heat low-pressure system covering upper Thailand, combined with southerly and southeasterly winds prevailing over the lower North, Northeast, Central, and East regions.

Isolated Thunderstorms Expected

Scattered Showers and Gusty Winds

While the heat dominates, isolated thunderstorms are forecast for several parts of Thailand. These scattered showers are likely to bring brief relief from the scorching temperatures. The weather department warns of potential gusty winds accompanying these thunderstorms, urging residents to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions.

Regional Weather Breakdown

North and Northeast Face Extreme Heat

The North and Northeast regions are expected to experience very hot conditions, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 40°C. Isolated thunderstorms are possible in some areas, particularly in provinces like Yasothon, Sisaket, Surin, and Ubon Ratchathani.

Central and Eastern Regions

Hot Days with Chance of Thundershowers

The Central and Eastern regions will also face hot weather, with isolated thundershowers possible. Areas such as Lopburi, Saraburi, Ratchaburi, Sa Kaeo, Chanthaburi, and Trat may experience these scattered storms.

Southern Region Outlook

Partly Cloudy with Isolated Showers

The Southern region will see partly cloudy conditions with isolated thundershowers, particularly in provinces like Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat on the east coast, and Krabi, Trang, and Satun on the west coast.

Health and Safety Advisories

Precautions for Changing Weather

The Meteorological Department advises people to take care of their health due to the changing weather conditions. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, seek shade during peak heat hours, and be prepared for sudden weather changes.

Agricultural Implications

Farmers Warned of Potential Crop Damage

Farmers are cautioned to take precautions to prevent damage to crops and livestock due to the intense heat and potential for sudden storms. The changing weather patterns may pose challenges to agricultural activities across the country.

Maritime Conditions

Moderate Waves in Gulf and Andaman Sea

For coastal areas, the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea are expected to have waves below one meter high, potentially rising above one meter during thundershowers. Mariners are advised to exercise caution, especially when encountering storm conditions.
