BANGKOK, Thailand – Authorities have issued an urgent heat index advisory for Wednesday, April 15, warning that conditions in Bangkok and surrounding regions have reached a “dangerous” level.

The public is advised to closely monitor their physical condition and watch for symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, or heat exhaustion. Health officials strongly urge at-risk groups—including children, the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with underlying health conditions—to take extra precautions and seek immediate medical attention if any unusual symptoms occur.
