Upper Thailand to see less rain, South forecasted for heavy rains

A decrease in rainfall is forecasted for upper Thailand, while thundershowers and isolated heavy rains are expected in the South on Sunday, according to the Thai Meteorological Department.

Easterly and southeasterly winds will bring moisture from the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand to the northern region, leading to a reduction in rainfall and an increase in temperatures.

The department has advised people in upper Thailand to stay cautious and take care of their health due to the changing weather conditions.The South will experience thundershowers and isolated heavy rains, driven by winds in the Gulf of Thailand. Wave heights are expected to reach 1-2 metres, with even higher waves during thundershowers.
