Thailand Expected to Enter Winter Season Next Week
The Thai Meteorological Department anticipates declaring the start of the winter season next week, noting that conditions will likely be humid rather than dry.
According to a report from Thai Post, the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) is preparing to officially announce the onset of the winter season in Thailand next week. Somkhuan Tonjan, Director of the Aviation Meteorology Division, provided an update based on the latest WRFDA weather modeling data as of November 7, 2026. While the transition to winter is imminent, the forecast indicates that the rainy season has not yet fully concluded. Residents and travelers should expect intermittent rainfall to persist even as the country shifts into the cooler season. Notably, meteorologists suggest that this year’s winter will not be characterized by the typical dry, crisp cold. Instead, the season is expected to be 'humidly cold,' meaning higher moisture levels will likely accompany the drop in temperatures. For those living in or visiting Thailand, this shift suggests that while temperatures may decrease, the air will remain damp. It remains to be confirmed exactly which day next week the official declaration will be made, as weather patterns continue to be monitored. Travelers are advised to prepare for a mix of cooler temperatures and lingering humidity, which may affect outdoor activities and travel plans across various regions.
