We live in the lucky country as Europe may be freezing this winter and America may have restrictions on heating oil. The weather here is one of the reasons most of us moved here so lets enjoy a little cool weather with the heat.

The same department also said that Bangkok temperatures would fall to 15c by the end of October, a prediction that no international forecasting organization agreed with. Spoiler alert: they were off by about 10 degrees.

Looking forward to some cooler weather....however, that means the locals will be burning anything and everything they can get their hands.....the AQ will be horrendous.

So are you here or not?

 

Incidentally, seasonal rates are always set out in advance, not at the whim of meteorological depts.
