BANGKOK (NNT) - The Meteorological Department has forecast that a strong cold front from China will cause temperatures to drop in most of the country from December 14-18, except for the southern region, where heavy rain is still expected.

 

The agency forecasts that the northeast will see temperatures drop 4-6 ?C, while the northern, eastern and central regions, including Bangkok, will experience a drop of 3-5 ?C.

 

The weather service also expects another strong cold front to move over the North on Sunday (18 Dec) and continue southward to other regions for several days before weakening.

 

Residents in the south should meanwhile brace themselves for heavy rain, which may cause flooding or overflows from natural waterways due to a low-pressure cell and moderate north-easterly monsoon covering the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea.

 

Officials reported that cold weather over the long weekend also drove tourists to mountain retreats such as Chiang Mai’s Huai Nam Dang National Park and Phetchaburi’s Khao Phanoen Thung in Kaeng Krachan National Park.

Actually they are quite good with their 2 day forecasts. If you look at (and understand) the TMD data available you would know why.

Currently here in south Surin 17C 'real feel 16'. And windy. I have on shirt & jeans instead of my usual shorts-only.

 

Didn't make it across the 8 metres to the gym this morning. Snuggles time.

 

Hot soup for brunch from PTT later this morning.

Yes. Still waiting for the shower to warm up.????????

I rode my motorcycle to work this morning in Pathumtani. When I got off the bike I had icicles on my beard.......It was harsh gentlmen...harsh.

Whilst UK basks in temperatures of minus 10, I had to put a T-shirt on here in Pattaya when the cold snap hit 22!

Not necessarily.

 

It depends on where you live and where the weather station is situated.

 

The closer you live to the weather station, the more accurate it is.

 

If you don't like the Thai weather forecast try these, and choose your own locality.

Please bear in mind that most of these weather stations are virtual and none really have a weather station on the ground. Alternatively you could buy your own weather station and set it up.

And these phone apps really only quote the forecast for the whole province but just locate your phone to make you happy and important.

Cheaper and more accurate is to look out of the window I think... ????☀️⛅????️⛈️????
