Thailand's Meteorological Department has delayed announcing the start of winter due to unusual weather conditions throughout the country. The department expected winter to begin on October 29.
A spokesperson from the Meteorological Department explained that the northern and northeastern regions are the only places currently experiencing temperatures below 23 degrees Celsius, while the rest of the country is still seeing rain.
Therefore, they will wait for a more widespread cold air mass before officially declaring winter. Officials hope to make an announcement within the next two weeks.
Last night's heavy rain and thunderstorms in Bangkok and nearby areas were the result of a strong cold air mass from China meeting a western wind system.
As this cold air pushes the western wind system south, northern Thailand should see drier and cooler weather soon.
