Bangkok has seen temperatures dip to 16°C over the past few days due to a strong high-pressure system and cold air mass over the country.
While temperatures are expected to rise on Tuesday (14 Jan) and Wednesday (15 Jan), a strong cold air mass is set to return on Thursday (16 Jan) and Friday (17 Jan), prolonging the cold weather.
Between 19 and 28 Jan, the cold air mass covering the country will begin to weaken. Temperatures will gradually warm up, and the wind direction will start to change.
Dr Jessada explained that Thailand has experienced La Niña conditions since December, which could also mean cooler weather in the hotter months.
The warmer period, from February to May, may also see elevated humidity, resulting in occasional thunderstorms.
The rainfall will be higher than usual, especially during April and May. However, it may decrease below the average in June, with a possible dry spell.
