24-Hour Weather Forecast

In the next 24 hours, temperatures in upper Thailand will rise, bringing hot conditions during the day with isolated light rain. Residents are advised to take care of their health due to changing weather conditions.

A moderate high-pressure system or cool air mass over the Northeast and the South China Sea is weakening, causing easterly and southeasterly winds carrying moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand to weaken over upper Thailand.Meanwhile, moderate easterly and southeasterly winds prevail over the Gulf of Thailand, the South, and the Andaman Sea, leading to heavy rainfall in some southern areas. In the lower Gulf of Thailand, waves are moderate at 1-2 metres, while the upper Gulf and the Andaman Sea see waves around 1 metre. In areas with thunderstorms, waves may exceed 2 metres. Mariners in affected areas should proceed with caution and avoid sailing in stormy conditions.
