webfact Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 The Meteorological Department of Thailand (TMD) announced that the onset of this year’s cool season is likely to be delayed by approximately two weeks, and will be warmer than usual. The shift has been attributed to unpredictable weather patterns and the influence of the El Niño phenomenon. Typically, Thailand’s cool season commences around mid-October. However, this year the initial moderate cool spell is slated to hit the northern regions of Thailand tomorrow, marking the start of the climate shift. The spell is expected to persist until the following Monday, the TMD reported. Residents of the northeast region are set to experience a notable decrease in temperature, though they will have to endure sporadic rain and thunderstorms for a while longer. Despite this, the frequency of precipitation is expected to drop significantly. The coldest period across Thailand is predicted to start at the beginning of next month, lasting until the end of January. The average temperature in the northern part of the country is forecasted to hover between 21 and 22 degrees Celsius, around 1.5C higher than last year’s cool season average temperature. by Mitch Connor Top Photo: The Nation Thailand.

retarius Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Been a rooster this year, that's for sure. I posted on here a few days ago that I thought I could feel a change in the weather. Shows how stupid might I be, doesn't it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2023 Early in the year they said the wet season would be drier than usual, for the same reason. Instead, where I am it was the wettest in the 10 years I've been here. So I'm looking forward to a deep freeze and no need for aircon or even a fan until around next March. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoguy21 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 La Nina will follow in its footsteps. Then everyone will be complaining it is too cold or too wet. These are natural phenomena which of course the climate change nutters don't ever consider. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 25+ you mean night temperatures surely. Cool/cold season quite different. Night temps <10 C in some regions. Love it. Coffee and cig when I wake up and it's under 20 or even under 10 degrees C. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Cool or not cool is one thing. But the rain, storms and stagnant pollution all over Bangkok down to the south, car deter in various domains. Not to forget the mosquitos who seem to be having field days in this period with all the hazards that go with it. Of course, no problem for the "never-happens-to-me" club. But it is a matter of concern to others, regarding the Dengue spread for instance. Looks like mosquito repellant spray will boost their sales this year.

Seems fine to me. Hope it stays this way for the five months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
