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

Strong sunshine and warm air to raise temperatures

From November 18 to 19, strong sunshine combined with warm air is expected to raise temperatures across Thailand. Skies are expected to be mostly clear, allowing sunshine to warm the ground. In addition, warm air of at least +18°C at around 1,500 m is spreading widely from the South China Sea and continues to warm the air near the surface. This pattern is expected to continue.

Forecast for major cities

Strong sunshine and warm air are expected to persist during this period. Bangkok is forecast to reach 35°C from the 18th to the 19th, with humidity of 58% to 65%. Phuket is forecast to reach 33–34°C, while Chiang Mai, where sunshine will be weaker, is expected to reach 31–32°C. Neither city is forecast to reach 35°C.

Limit outdoor activities during the day as much as possible. Drink water regularly and take precautions against the heat, such as improving ventilation indoors.
