At around 1,500 m, warm air of +18°C or higher is spreading widely from the South China Sea and continues to warm areas near the surface. With few clouds and the added effect of sunshine, daytime temperatures are expected to rise more easily.

Warm air and strong sunshine are expected to persist during the period. Bangkok is forecast to reach 35°C on the 9th, with humidity at 57%. In Bangkok, temperatures are forecast to fall to 32°C on the 10th as the warm air around 1,500 m weakens.

Neither is expected to reach 35°C.

Try to avoid going outside during the day as much as possible. Take precautions against the heat, such as drinking water regularly and keeping indoor spaces well ventilated.
