Meteorological Department Forecasts Extreme Heat in Some Areas on 7 April 2026

The Meteorological Department forecasts weather for 7 April 2026, warning that some areas will experience "extreme heat" and advising caution for the dangers from "thunderstorms" that may occur in certain areas.


On 7 April 2026, the website ofthe Meteorological Departmentprovides a 24-hour weather forecast: Upper Thailand will generally be hot with hazy skies during the day and extreme heat in some areas of the North, Northeast, and Central regions. This is due to a heat-induced low-pressure system covering upper Thailand, combined with weak southerly and southwesterly winds in the area, causing light thunderstorms in some locations. The public is advised to take care of their health due to the hot to extremely hot conditions by avoiding prolonged outdoor work or activities and to remain cautious of possible thunderstorms in some areas.

In the South, thunderstorms with some strong gusts of wind are expected, along with hot daytime temperatures. Westerly winds are covering the Andaman Sea, the South, and the upper Gulf of Thailand, along with southeasterly winds over the lower Gulf of Thailand. Residents in these areas should be cautious of thunderstorms and strong gusts of wind that may occur in some locations. Sea conditions in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea are calm, with waves about 1 meter high, rising above 1 meter in areas with thunderstorms. Mariners are advised to avoid navigating in areas with thunderstorms.

Currently, particulate matter in the North, Northeast, and upper Central regions is accumulating beyond safe standards due to a high density of heat spots in the North and nearby areas exceeding the air ventilation capacity. The public is advised to avoid staying outdoors and to wear N95 masks for safety when outside buildings.
