Mercury may drop 2 to 5 degrees from Saturday to Tuesday

The Meteorological Department warned Saturday that the mercury could drop by two to five Celsius degrees from Saturday to Tuesday in most parts of the country.

The department announced that a new high pressure ridge from China had moved down to cover Thailand and would remain until Tuesday.

The high pressure ridge would cause temperature to drop by two to five degrees in northern, northeastern, central and eastern provinces.

Bangkok and satellite provinces could also see temperature drop, it said.
