rooster59 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Mini heatwave to hit northern Thailand next week People living in northern Thailand are being warned to take extra care as temperatures are set to soar over the next couple of days. Thailand’s Met Office is advising residents to prepare for an increase in temperatures by staying out of the sun during the hottest time of the day and making sure they stay properly hydrated. Forecasters have said that due a high pressure weather system, temperatures in upper and northern Thailand could reach 39 degrees Celsius during March 3rd to 5th. People living in the northeast of Thailand will experience slightly cooler temperatures but with an increased chance of light rain and thunderstorms. The news comes after it was announced that Thailand officially entered its summer season on Feb 21. This year forecasters are predicting scorching temperatures and “an extraordinarily hot and arid summer” following what was an unusually warm winter season. The summer temperatures are expected to reach up to 44 degrees Celsius in provinces such as Kanchanaburi, Lampang, Uttaradit and Sukhothai. Thailand’s Met Office also warned that if their predictions prove to be accurate, this year will be the second hottest summer ever recorded in Thailand. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2019-03-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The farmers and the motorists and big agriculture have seen this heatwave coming for months and have been kind enough to cover the region with a thick grey blanket to catch any harmful UV rays that may cause trouble to people, especially the gingers. Thank you to all who have contributed to the protective UV blanket and for the beautiful sunsets. 3 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neeray Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I can always get cooled down and comfortable in spite of high temperatures. Wish I could get warmed up and comfortable just as easily in sub zero, blowing snow conditions. I can't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nong Khai Man Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Already 33c ( Feels like 40c ) at 12.30 in Nong Khai.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKC Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I live in Lampang. I have hardly seen a cloud for more than two weeks. The temperature has been as hot as I have ever known it (16 years in the North) already. Do they mean even hotter? Anything to do with Climate change? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar over here in Isaan but it is the high humidity that I find excruciating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marble Bar is the most constantly hot town in Australia. And I lived near there for 25 years. There is no way you get too much of a sweat up, the sun instantly dries that away. It is just hot. Where I live on Thailand plains now, it is hot (36c) but humid. I step outside the house and - instant sweat up. I miss the Pilbara temperature where it did get cooler for about 5 months of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in Karratha. On the salt mine that is also in Port Hedland. And we toured to Marble bar and Wittenoom Gorge. Newman... Bloody hot in summer, quaintly cool at up to 27c in winter. But little humidity. Dry heat. And beautiful stark dry semi desert vista. Not Thai humidity. I love them both, but I do wish it would rain in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
