The Meteorology Department of Thailand (TMD) issued a weather alert for 28 provinces across the kingdom, including Bangkok, warning of thunderstorms and cold to severe cold conditions on mountain peaks.

The TMD forecasted that the northern, upper central, and northeastern regions are experiencing weather disturbances due to westerly wind streams, and the southern region is expected to see waves over 2 metres high due to the weakening northeast monsoon.

The high-pressure system that has been dominating Thailand and the South China Sea is gradually weakening. However, it continues to bring cold mornings to the upper part of the country, urging citizens to take care of their health due to the changing conditions.

The northeastern region is also cool with a 20% chance of thunderstorms, mainly in the provinces of Loei, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Udon Thani, Nong Bua Lamphu, Sakon Nakhon, and Nakhon Phanom. Minimum temperatures are between 16-21 degrees Celsius, while maximum temperatures range from 28-33 degrees Celsius. Mountainous areas will have lower temperatures ranging from 12-16 degrees Celsius.
