The Thai Meteorological Department has also warned that people in these areas - with temperatures ranging from 41 degrees Celsius to 54 degrees Celsius - are at risk of cramps and sunstroke. This is classified as an orange (dangerous) warning in Thailand. Above 54 degrees Celsius is red (very dangerous).

Earlier this month, Thai politician and tycoon Chonsawat Asavahame died at the age of 54 due to the heat.

Heatstroke occurs due to a disruption of the thermoregulatory center when exposed to excessive heat, with symptoms including fatigue, dizziness, slurred speech, possible loss of consciousness, convulsions and even cardiac arrest.
