First Cold Snap Forecast for Northern and Northeastern Thailand
The Thai Meteorological Department has announced the arrival of the first cold wave, with temperatures expected to drop significantly in the North and Northeast.
According to the Thai Meteorological Department, as reported by Thai Post, the first wave of cold air is moving into Thailand. Somkuan Tonjan, Director of the Aviation Meteorology Division, stated that temperatures in the Northern and Northeastern regions are expected to drop by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius. Residents and travelers in these areas should prepare for cooler conditions as the seasonal transition begins. In Bangkok, the forecast indicates cooler weather during the morning hours. The department has released a 15-day weather outlook covering November 5 to November 19, 2026, based on ECMWF model analysis. While the drop in temperature marks the onset of the cool season, the specific duration and intensity of this cold wave across all provinces remain subject to further daily updates. Travelers planning trips to mountainous areas in the North or Northeast are advised to monitor local weather reports, as conditions can change rapidly. This shift in weather is a typical seasonal pattern for Thailand during November, signaling the end of the rainy season in many parts of the country.
