Cold snap in Thailand: New Year's celebration in frosty weather!
Find out the latest weather forecast for Thailand from December 29, 2025 to January 4, 2026, including cold weather and thunderstorms.
Cold snap in Thailand: New Year's celebration in frosty weather!
When the air is fresh and clear, Thais are ready for the New Year celebrations. According to the latest information from the Thai Meteorological Institute, variable weather is expected in Thailand from December 30, 2025 to January 4, 2026. A look at today, December 29th, already shows that cold to very cold weather prevails in the northern and northeastern regions. In the central areas, such as Bangkok, the population is surprised with cool mornings that provide a brisk breeze.
The weather is no coincidence: A strong high pressure area from China is currently affecting Thailand and the South China Sea. This high pressure area not only ensures cold temperatures in the north, but also warms the air in the central regions. However, from January 30th to January 2nd, 2026, people in the north and northeast can continue to immerse themselves in the depths of winter. A light morning fog is also expected to cloud visibility.
New Year's weather and safety advice
For many, New Year is a time of celebration, but meteorologists warn that safety aspects should not be neglected. The population is urged to pay attention to their health, especially due to the cold temperatures in the northern regions. Additionally, everyone should exercise caution to avoid fire hazards due to the dry conditions. However, thunderstorms are an issue that does not go unnoticed in the south, as thunderstorms are expected in around 20% of areas, such as Phang Nga or Krabi.
A look at the weather forecast for the next 24 hours shows:
