Clear skies and warm temperatures are now setting the tone, with beach-friendly weather expected to continue in the coming days. According to the Thai Meteorological Department, overall rainfall has eased across much of the country. While heavy showers may still occur in parts of the upper Northeast, Pattaya and other central and eastern regions are experiencing drier, sunnier conditions. Pattaya is seeing daytime highs around 33–35°C, with mostly clear skies and only isolated chances of rain, and nighttime lows between 27–28°C. In Bangkok and surrounding provinces, only 20% of the area is forecast to see scattered thunderstorms, with daytime highs between 34–36°C and nighttime temperatures ranging from 26–27°C. Sea conditions are calm to moderate, with waves ranging from 1–2 meters in the upper Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand. Mariners are advised to remain cautious in areas with possible thunderstorms. Despite the improving weather, Pattaya’s beaches, restaurants, and tourist services remain quieter than usual. Many businesses are fully staffed and ready, hoping that the sunshine will bring back travelers. From beachfront cafés to island-hopping tours, the city stands prepared — now it’s just waiting for visitors to return and make the most of its renewed sunshine.
