Meteorological Department Forecasts Weather for Election Day on Feb 8, Advises Bringing Umbrellas

The Meteorological Department warns citizens to bring umbrellas for the February 8 election, with rain expected in multiple regions including Central, Eastern, and Southern Thailand, and Bangkok metropolitan area. The forecast is due to a new cold air mass moving from China, which will initially cause thunderstorms followed by temperature drops and strong winds. The weather predictions indicate varying conditions from February 3-8, with the upper part of Thailand experiencing cooler temperatures and strong winds, while marine areas in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea will have moderate wave conditions.
