Thailand Weather: Hot Temperatures & Scattered Showers – March 22, 2024

Thailand’s meteorological department has forecast hot weather across the upper regions of the country today, March 22, 2026, with isolated thunderstorms and strong winds expected in some areas. Bangkok and surrounding provinces face a 10% probability of thunderstorms.

The forecast for the next 24 hours indicates daytime heat in the upper regions, accompanied by sporadic thunderstorms and gusty winds. This is attributed to a low-pressure system due to heat covering the upper part of Thailand, coupled with south and southeast winds prevailing in the area. Residents in the upper regions are advised to take precautions against the heat and be aware of potential hazards from thunderstorms and strong winds.

Southern Thailand is expected to experience isolated thunderstorms as east and southeast winds cover the Gulf of Thailand, the south and the Andaman Sea. Wave heights in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea are predicted to be around one meter, potentially exceeding one meter during thunderstorms. Mariners in these areas are advised to avoid sailing in areas with thunderstorms.

Air quality is a concern in the North and Northeast regions, with moderate to high levels of dust and haze due to limited air circulation.
