Thailand to experience sharp drop in temperature next week

By The Nation

 

 

Thailand will see temperatures plunging by three to five degrees next week on the back of heavy rain in many parts of the country over the weekend, the Meteorological Department announced.

 

 

In its special warning issued at 5am Saturday, the department said there would be thundershowers, gusty winds and heavy rain in upper Thailand Saturday and Sunday.

 

The department attributed the weather condition to a monsoon trough sitting over the lower North, the upper Central and the lower Northeast and a low pressure system over the South China Sea while a moderate high-pressure system from China hung over upper Vietnam and Laos.

 

The department said the sharp fall of temperature from Monday to Thursday would be caused by a moderate high-pressure system from China.

 

It said the fall in temperature would start in the Northeast and spread to the rest of the country. 

 

The affected areas are as follows:

I always get concerned when there is a temperature drop, my 8-baht unit landlord will find another way to extort the money

Blame global warming.

 

Oops, I mean climate change.

Yea, the law passed last year makes it unlawful for landlords to charge more than the electric company rate of 4.5 baht per unit ... I wonder if any comply?

Climate and weather are different.

If you have a hot climate you have hot weather and in a cold climate you have cold weather apart from during the regular seasonal variations.

I'll get my duvet ready to combat bone numbing temps of 26.

well the Thai Met Department have been almost 100% wrong on every prediction that they have made in the last 12 months, so I will take this latest one with the usual 'pinch of salt'. As my old flying boss used to say, Meteorologists are in the only profession where you can spend your whole career being wrong and still get promoted. 

If you don't want to spend money for the real thing there are other options to keep you warm at night. Simply fill in hot water and enjoy a warm night for reasonable money. 

There will be cooler maybe in the North and mountain tops, but nothing for central part. It will get actually warmer during the next week with usual 35 degrees in the shade starting from Wednesday.

So they simply put up the rent to cover the drop in revenue.

Angrit-language media here love to use words like "plunge" and "plummet" and "crisis" to describe any kind of cool snap (with temps considered as picnic-friendly in many farang countries). O M G ! ! ! prepare to wear a shirt with sleeves and maybe even socks at night ! ! !  ????

I no longer own any long-sleeve shirts or socks!!  Guess I will freeze to death! Not!!!

Wonderful. Lower temps. What a delight. No doubt a few monks will freeze from hypothermia. But, life goes on.

My landlord gave me the bill every months and I went to pay it. He never overcharged. Not even before the law came into force.
