Thailand Entering Winter Amidst Typhoon Impact

On October 26, 2023, Thailand's Meteorological Department announced that the country would begin its winter season officially on October 29, which is roughly two weeks later than the average. This year is expected to be chillier than the previous one, with temperatures potentially dropping to as low as 6-8 degrees Celsius in certain areas. Concurrently, Thailand is bracing for the effects of Typhoon Chami, which is moving from the Philippines toward Vietnam over the weekend, prompting vigilance against the storm. There is a forecast of increased rainfall in the northeastern region. Reports indicate that over 76 people have died due to Typhoon Chami in the Philippines, which wreaked havoc recently. Furthermore, ongoing international developments regarding Israel and Hamas' actions in Gaza continue to bring many injuries and raise global tensions. As winter approaches, the situation appears increasingly dire as multiple issues converge, impacting both local weather and global politics.
