As per Skymet Weather, these rains were a result of the cyclonic circulation which is persisting over the southwestern parts of the Gulf of Thailand. As of now also, moderate rains with heavy at a few places are likely to continue over the southeast and southwest regions of Thailand for at least next 2-3 days.

Winds will be moderate to strong and the sea conditions will be rough. Fishermen and small boats are advised to take utmost precaution while venturing into the sea.

Skymet Weather further reiterates that a high-pressure area is seen over North Thailand. In the wake of this, the temperatures are likely to fall further over North Thailand. Cool winds from the north will also contribute in dropping these temperatures.
