Thailand is experiencing shifting weather patterns as January draws to a close. The Thai Meteorological Department forecasts temperature increases across much of the country, alongside morning fog and continued cool to cold conditions in northern and northeastern regions. These changes stem from a weakening of high-pressure systems and cooler air masses over Thailand and the South China Sea.
