Bangkok, Thailand, forecast to reach 35°C amid strong sunshine

Warm air and strong sunshine to drive temperatures higher

Temperatures in Thailand are forecast to rise from Nov. 19 to 21 as strong sunshine combines with warm air. Skies will be mostly clear, allowing sunshine to warm the ground. At around 1,500 m, warm air of +18°C or higher is spreading widely from the South China Sea, continuing to warm the near-surface layer. This pattern is expected to continue.

Outlook for major cities

Strong sunshine and warm air are expected to persist during the period. Bangkok is forecast to reach 35°C from Nov. 19 to 21, with humidity of 58% to 61%. Phuket is forecast to reach 32–33°C and Chiang Mai 31–32°C, with neither expected to reach 35°C.

Avoid going outdoors during the day as much as possible. Drink water regularly and take steps to cope with the heat, such as improving ventilation indoors.
