Thailand to turn chilly for seven days from Tuesday

[webfact]

 

Warmer clothing may be needed for at least a week as most of Thailand will see the weather turn noticeably cooler from tomorrow (Tuesday).

 

A strong cold front from China will cover the northern part of Thailand from tomorrow until Saturday and this will cause temperatures to fall 3-6oC in most of Thailand, except in the southern region which will face heavy rain, according to the Meteorological Department.

 

The mercury in the north-eastern region is forecast to drop by 4-6oC, while the temperature in the northern, eastern and central regions, including Bangkok, is expected to fall by 3-5oC.

Bring on the low 20's, please.  I want to see the ladies all bundled up in there snow parkas and their uggs.

Superb weather

For leg men, winter is very depressing....

Chilly is relative.     Now it’s 32.   Down to 29 isn’t chilly. Between 9 pm and 8 am I might, might have to wear a shirt.  Not pants.    No socks.  No boots.  No wool cap.   No scarf.   Pleasant is my word.  
 

I will put on my 800 fill jacket and likely take it off after 15 minutes, but I have it to act like I’m in Alaska during a blizzard. 

 

Talk to me when we see single digits…..it happens, not usually in December.

Last week daughter #1 went up to Rayong to see an indoor tulip growing facility.

Temperature maintained at a chilly 14.8C - not exactly life-threatening but she was prepared with additional clothing, however as she says, believes it's the first time in her life she's experienced sub-20C temperatures apart from opening the refrigerator.

 

Back to normal - forecast 34C at 3pm today, 23C overnight.

Got my 2-stage electric heater and digital electronic thermostatic control all set and prepared. ????

Tried to send you a PM but I believe you turned that receiving PM's off.

 

Care to share the location of this place. Wifey has seen Tulips in Europe, Singapore so it would be awesome for her to seen them in her home country.

 

Thx!

Some good news! and get that RH down!

[lordblackader]

No surprise here. The odd thing is that it has taken this long to finally get a bit cold.

I definitely enjoy the few cold days that Thailand has during the "winter".

Wow thx a lot.

Good surprise for the wife

 

Thx again, really appreciated

 

[Skeptic7]

About time! Bring it on. ????

[bamnutsak]

Finally.

 

But that means burning season is just around the corner.

We had the annual "Overcoat" concert last night where Bangkok people pay through the nose to listen to "music" through to 4am and be cold. Unfortunately for them the temperature did not go below 20C.

They have yet to explain why we can have loud music 5km from the speakers. Those close must have ear plugs.

It might do in some parts of the country, but up in our little corner of the rice paddy I've never seen it go higher than 'satisfactory'. 

[dingdongrb]

I've got my snow shovel ready!

[Baht Simpson]

Winter draws on.

[Adumbration]

I love the cold weather.  Always get lots more hugs from the GF in bed.

A friend in south/central UK sent me a video yesterday, snow falling in Bournemouth.

Must have just opened within the last couple months.  I work about 5km from here and drive by the area often, was wondering what they were building behind the construction fencing, thought it was just a new factory.

For those unfamiliar, this is a VERY densely developed industrial area.  It is not beautiful.  However, some very nice 'Thai' style beaches just a couple minutes drive to the West of this.  Phala, Nam Rin etc.  Worth a journey over if you don't live far and are bored.  Particularly nice in NE monsoon, offshore winds allow for clear water and very calm seas.  Romson Restaurant for a great Thai meal sitting on the beach in the natural shade of the pine trees.

 

Can't imagine the energy required to keep something this size at 14C!   Suppose Thai government/PTT doesn't really care, heaps of co-gen electricity from burned-off excess chemicals at Map-Ta-Phut anyways.

 

Wonder what family member of an influential person made a boat-load of cash for this pet project?
