The Thai Meteorological Department has revealed that Thailand is experiencing hot to very hot weather conditions, with the northern region reaching a maximum temperature of 43 degrees Celsius. They advise against engaging in outdoor activities for extended periods and recommend staying indoors to avoid the heat.

Over the next 24 hours, the atmospheric pressure is expected to be low due to the hot weather covering the upper part of Thailand, resulting in generally hot weather across the country with clear skies during midday. People are urged to take care of their health due to the extremely hot weather conditions and to avoid outdoor activities for prolonged periods.
