Related factors (forecasted weather conditions affecting PM2.5) from 13–21 Feb 2026: Ventilation is rated "good to mild" with near-surface atmospheric layers alternating between open and closed, influenced by southern winds. This is expected to reduce dust accumulation. Today’s forecast is partly cloudy with morning fog and light rain in some areas.
Satellite data from NASA shows no abnormal heat hotspots detected over Bangkok, indicating no unusual heat sources contributing to pollution.
The Environmental Office has coordinated with all relevant agencies to intensify operations under the dust pollution action plan to mitigate the severity of PM2.5 pollution and its health impacts. The public and all sectors are encouraged to participate by adjusting behaviors and reducing activities that generate dust, following the “5 Ways to Reduce Dust You Can Do”: 1. Regularly clean homes by dusting, 2. Avoid burning waste and lighting incense, 3. Plant trees to absorb pollutants and trap dust, 4. Use public transport, and 5. Turn off engines when parked and maintain engines to avoid excessive black smoke.
