Bangkok (VNA) – The Thai government warns of hot weather and the dangers of heatstroke, especially for high-risk groups, people with chronic illnesses, and outdoor workers.
Airin Panrit, Deputy Spokesperson of the Prime Minister's Office, said it is forecasted that this year’s temperatures will be higher than last year, possibly reaching 42–43 degrees Celsius in high-risk areas such as Mae Hong Son, Lampang, and Tak.
Citizens are urged to take care of their health due to the hot to very hot conditions by avoiding prolonged work or activities outdoors to reduce the risk of heatstroke, which can be fatal.
She advised reducing outdoor activities from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., avoiding outdoor exposure, and drinking water frequently, at least hourly. Those sweating heavily should increase electrolyte intake.
The Thai Meteorological Department stated that between March 3 and 6, a summer storm will develop over upper Thailand, starting in the eastern part of the Northeast region first. The East, Central region including Bangkok and its vicinity, and the North will be affected subsequently./.
