Brunolem Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Since early October, the Thai weather forecasters have been telling us that, starting October 17 (that's some precision), the country would enter in a long dry and exceptionally cool season. Well, that may be true for the Northern part of Thailand, but here in Eastern Isaan, we have rather entered extra time in the rain season. Very cloudy skies with almost no sunshine, high humidity, storms with rain, thunder and lightning (as I am typing these words). In short, no sign at all that we are about to enter the so-called winter season. As a matter of fact, I am convinced that, for the ninth year out of the last ten years, we won't have a cool season. My best indicator: my electricity bill, which hasn't gone down since April... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauGR1 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Well, Brunolem, i have good news for you, if few degrees more or less is the only thing that bothers you, you are having a pretty good life ! Other good news is, that soon rain will stop and temperatures will drop, i can tell you that just by watching the calendar ! ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotman Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Fairly cool in the daytime here in Rayong district and night time can get positively cold, by around 4am. Pool too cold for me in the early morning. Edited November 2, 2019 by Pilotman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt1591 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Quite nice today in Bangkok. Ride to the market this morning was actually a bit chilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Can only hope. One day, week, month, season at a time. Last year in Bangkok went went right through the cool season with temps blazing. I don't even recall any chilly weather. For me it's not the heat per se rather it's the extreme heat for long periods of time. The nights not cooling off. High humidity. The concrete in BKK sure can't help. It's to the point I'd love Florida weather... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 It's still hot as hell during daytime in Chiang Mai. So the weather forecaster is wrong. I think winter really starts around third week of november. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy John Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Chilly Billy here in Noen Maprang district Phitsanulok. I take the dogs for a walk about 6am and I have to wear a jacket now. The steelworks I painted outside the shed yesterday had a good layer of mildew on it. Up to 28C now under the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have been here 10 years you should know 2 things. One, dont trust the meteorological department forecasts. Two, cool season actually kicks in the first or second week of December.

Northern Isaan here. No rain in October, wonderfully cool in the evenings and first thing in the morning, no daytime humidity, feels like December. Best time of the year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnapat Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I think they actually refer to night time temperatures as you can often get really cool evenings and mornings but still hot in the daytime in most areas. In any case early November is too early for the cool season to kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the "coldest" period I can remember during my years in Thailand. I have never seen so many thai people wearing jackets and scarves. In bars they refused to turn on the fans.
