🔥 April 12–15: Very Hot Weather

Thailand will experience hot to extremely hot weather, with temperatures reaching up to 42°C. Skies will be hazy during the day, with only occasional isolated thunderstorms in some areas. This is caused by a heat low-pressure system covering upper Thailand.

⛈️ April 16–17: Storms Arrive

Summer storms will affect upper Thailand, bringing thunderstorms, strong winds, and possible hail and lightning. These storms will begin in the Northeast before moving to the East, Central region, and lower North. They are caused by a cool high-pressure system from China interacting with the hot weather.

🌊 Southern Thailand

The South will remain hot during the day with scattered thunderstorms throughout the week. Sea conditions will generally have waves around 1 metre, increasing during storms.

• Limit outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day.
• During storms, avoid open areas, large trees, and unstable structures.
