It is expected that the ventilation rate during 30 Jan. – 1 Feb. ’23 will not be good due to the low air ceiling. Continuously closed weather conditions In addition, from 2 to 4 February 2023, a high pressure area or strong cold air mass from China covers Thailand. Resulting in the accumulation of PM2.5 dust tends to decrease to slightly increase alternately during this period. In addition, the high pressure air from China will come off the coast, causing the cold wind direction to shift from the northeast to the east. As a result, smoke from Cambodia will begin to flow into Thailand, especially in the eastern, central and Bangkok regions. which is a normal phenomenon of the transition to summer The south wind will intensify more and more. And today, Bangkok and its vicinity are cool with strong winds.
