A cyclonic circulation is seen over the southern parts of Thailand. It is due to this weather system that South Thailand had recorded such heavy spells. As of now also, moderate rain with one or two heavy spells is expected to continue over the southern parts of Thailand while the weather of North Thailand will remain dry. Frost is also expected on the mountaintops.

The high-pressure system over the upper Northeast is also expected to move to the South China Sea, forcing the moisture along the easterly winds across the Northeast, the East and the Central including Bangkok and its vicinity.

The sky is expected to remain cloudy in Bangkok with fog during the morning hours. The minimum temperatures across Bangkok are expected to settle between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius while the maximums will remain in mid 30’s.
