The Nation having a slow news day? This item is about as newsworthy as Michael Fish saying there is a good chance there'll be some heavy showers in northern England this winter and for Mancunians to brace themselves for rain.

And what does he mean "colder weather this year"? Colder than what? The rainy season? Last cool season? Ten years average perhaps? C'mon Khun Suparerk, you can do better than that man!

Good point.

Winter frost is not unknown in those areas, even in a "normal" year.

That is all just a myth.

Last year for example.....we had two consecutive weekends that were rain free.
