The
Moderate to rather strong high-pressure system from China will extend to upper
Thailand and the South China Sea. The northeast monsoon prevailing over the
Gulf and the South will strengthen. Meanwhile, an active low-pressure cell over the lower South
China Sea will move through the lower South and Malaysia into the lower Andaman
Sea. Heavy to very heavy rains is likely in Chumphon,
Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala,
Narathiwat, Phangnga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang and Satun.
People in the areas should beware of heavy to very heavy rains that may cause
flash floods and overflows, especially along the waterways near foothills and
lowlands. At the same time, the strengthening wind forces the waves in the
upper Gulf and the Andaman Sea up to about 2
meters high and above 2 meters high in thundershowers while 2-3 meters high in the lower Gulf and above
3 meters high in thundershowers. All ships should proceed with caution and keep
off thundershowers. Small boats in the lower Gulf should keep ashore.
Cool to cold weather and strong wind
is expected over the upper country. A decrease in temperature by
4–6 °C is likely the Northeast, 2–4 °C drop in temperature is forecast for the rest regions in upper
Thailand. People should keep healthy and beware of fire due to strong winds and
dry air.
