On Monday, Thailand will officially enter the hot, or summer, season.
-
The Ministry of Public Health has warned citizens and businesses to prepare for what is expected to be amore severe summer than last year, due to rising global temperatures.The Thai Meteorological Department forecasts temperatures ranging from 36-37C, with some areas such as Mae Hong Son, Tak, and Bangkok expected to reach 40-42C, a level that can trigger heatstroke.
While Thais are accustomed to hot weather, heatstroke is different. It is a life-threatening condition marked by a core body temperature exceeding 40C and can lead to severe complications, particularly for those with chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
The Department of Medical Services (DoMS) urges families and communities to monitor five vulnerable groups: the elderly, young children, pregnant women, patients with chronic diseases, and those with limited access to cooling or clean water.
