Donnyboy Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just starting up in Mae Hia. Thought there was supposed to be a 6-10 degree temperature drop but I had to turn the air on today. The high pressure over the Northeast of Thailand will cover the upper country today. The weather conditions can be varied with thundershowers and strong wind following with sharp cold spell expected by decreasing temperature 6-10 degree Celsius. The weather forecast for regions during 24-25 January is as following: North: Minimum temperature 8-14 degree Celsius with isolated frost in mountaintops. Northeast: Minimum temperature 8-15 degree Celsius. Central and East: Minimum temperature 14-18 degree Celsius. Bangkok Metropolis and Vicinity: Minimum temperature 16-18 degree Celsius. During 26-27 January, the westerly trough from Myanmar will cover the North and the Northeast of Thailand affecting outbreaks of persistent cold spell. All people should keep warm and healthy due to the severe changeable weather. The northeast monsoon across the South and the Gulf of Thailand will intensify with much more rain, as well as isolated heavy thundershowers. The wind waves in the Gulf are expected 2-4 meters high. All people should beware of high inshore surf. All ships should proceed with caution, and small boats keep ashore during 24-27 January. http://www.tmd.go.th/en/thailand.php Thanks for that....just thinking about getting my ship underway. you may have to wait awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 A major rain cloud passed over us in Mae Rim, preceded by a powerful window which accelerated the leaf falling process and took the top off my new sala, grrr. Alas no rain but shed loads of leaves to pick up and a new plastic cover to buy, did I say grrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Very heavy rain just finished. South of San Kamphaeng. Very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Brief downpour, cleared for about an hour, now another windy downpour. I don't mind the rain and appreciate a return to the cool season, but I feel sorry for the CMU graduates and their families. I hope they enjoy the occasion in spite of the weather.

MaeJoMTB Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 3 hours of torrential rain in MaeJo from 3pm to 6pm. Just missed me, cycled back from Sunday lunch in town and it rained 5 mins later. Misses arrived back from University at 6:30pm, soaked through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaeJoMTB Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 ^^ Me too, at MaeJo, but just the one cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 ^^ Me too, at MaeJo, but just the one cut. One of the joys of village-life, that the power goes out, whenever there are more than three drops of rain or a gust of wind ! And I love it ! Reminds me of my childhood during the 1950s in England !

CMKiwi Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Its been drizzling most of the night in Mae Rim. This morning we have had a couple of good downpours and what a difference in temp. Inside its 18 degrees C, outside about 15. Its a good rain as its giving the ground time to soak it all up (Apart from the heavy downpours). Very cloudy around the hills and it looks like the rain is going to settle in for quite some time. Good day to do some work out in the workshop. Time for another big brewed coffee. If on the roads, please be careful...possibly quite greasy and increase your following distances. A good day to all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Johpa Posted January 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2016 Today, up in the hills above Mae Rim, is perhaps the coldest dampest day I have ever experienced in Lanna Land in decades. I have experienced colder nights but always clear skies. On the bright side I now have a great example to refer to when my Thai neighbors ask about the weather back in my home in the Pacific Northwest and I just told one neighbor that it goes on for months on end there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Is it now time to start a 'Chiang Mai - Snow' thread ? On the plus side, this will clean up the air, for a week or two ! And freshen up the garden too. But it's 13*C at 14.30 on an overcast day, almost like dear old England, time for a slice of Christmas-cake & some hot-chocolate. Then off to hunt for my novelty willy-warmer, now needed in earnest, methinks ! Edited January 25, 2016 by Ricardo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an auto store on Chroen Muang Rd. about two blocks east of the river that has snow chains. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
