Hot climate and clean air: an ideal combination or an insurmountable contradiction?

With southwesterly winds easing over upper Thailand, hot and humid weather will set in for most of Northern and Central Thailand, with a chance of rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.

Despite the heat, it is encouraging that air pollution continues to decline and aerosol concentrations are low. This is a positive trend that has a beneficial effect on the environment and human health.

The capital Bangkok and surrounding areas are expected to experience hot weather with little chance of rain, with temperatures ranging from 26°C in the morning, rising to 38°C during the day. A similar picture is expected in the Northern, Northeastern, Eastern and Central regions.

In the south of the country, at the same time, hot weather is predicted with thunderstorms over 40% of the territories and a maximum temperature of 37°C. The wind will blow from the southwest, and the height of the waves in the sea will be 1 meter, and during a storm it can reach 2 meters.

Despite these changes in weather, it is important to remember that climatic conditions can vary greatly, and you need to be prepared for possible changes. Keeping the forecasts up to date and adhering to safety advice regarding heat and rain will help keep you comfortable and well during this period.
