Overview of Thailand’s Weather Changes

Upper Thailand Warms Up

Recent forecasts indicate that upper Thailand is experiencing a rise in temperatures, with a notable increase in warmth expected. The Thai Meteorological Department has reported that temperatures in this region may rise by 1-3 °C due to a strong high-pressure system extending from China, leading to cooler conditions in the northern areas and a shift towards warmer weather overall.

Southern Thailand Faces Heavy Rains

In contrast, southern Thailand is bracing for heavy rainfall. The ongoing northeast monsoon is expected to bring isolated heavy to very heavy rains, particularly affecting provinces such as Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Songkhla. Residents are advised to remain vigilant due to the potential for flash floods and overflowing riverbanks in low-lying areas.
