Cooler weather persists in upper Thailand, while elsewhere it remains chilly in the morning but heats up during the day

Cool to cold weather is forecast for the North and the Northeast regions, while the rest of Thailand will experience a cool morning with light fog in places, the Thai Meteorological Department said on Wednesday.

Mountaintops in the North and the Northeast remain cold to very cold with frost in some areas, the department said, adding that these conditions are due to the high-pressure system covering upper Thailand and the South China Sea.
