1. Related factors (forecast weather trends that affect PM2.5 dust by meteorological conditions)
During the period 24 – 28 Oct. 2023, ventilation is poor to weak. This may result in higher concentrations of small dust particles (PM2.5) in some areas. And today, Bangkok and surrounding areas have thunderstorms in 30 percent of the area.
2. From examining hotspot data via satellite from NASA, no hot spots were found where the satellite detected unusually high heat values from heat values on the earth’s surface in the Bangkok area.
