Cool to cold in upper Thailand, isolated light rain in the South

Meteorological department reports little change in weather, even as high-pressure system over the North weakens

The upper part of Thailand will experience cool to cold weather on Friday as the moderate high-pressure system over the upper country continues to weaken while upper westerly winds prevail over the area, the Thai Meteorological Department said this morning.

It urged people in the upper country to take care of their health due to cold weather and beware of fire hazards due to dry air.
