A cold front from China which has brought down the temperature across Thailand's upper regions will continue to affect temperatures in the North and Northeast until next month, the Meteorological Department said on Sunday.
Temperatures in the North and Northeast will drop by 1-3 degrees Celsius (°C) over the next few days, before climbing by an average of 2°C by the end of the week.
Meanwhile, temperatures in Bangkok, the Central Plains and the East are expected to remain between 13-18°C, at least until tomorrow, the department warned.
"It can vary depending on elevation and area. In mountainous areas, temperatures could drop to as low as 1°C, so tourists and residents in affected areas are advised to wear jackets to keep themselves warm," said the department chief.
The Meteorological Department forecasts the cold front will continue to affect temperatures until late January and possibly into February.
