Is It That Cold?

[gennisis]

I happened to look at the weather forcast on Thai Visa web page.

According to it,the temp at 0700 is as low as 13 C. My thermometer reads 24 C.

I understand that the readings are done at the airport area...so I cant believe a difference of 11 C....up on the hills maybe but

I am out by the ring road.

[Ulysses G.]

IMO, it is slightly more chilly that the last few weeks, but not as chilly as it was last month.

[chiang mai]

I'm on the eigth floor of a building near the river close to Narwat bridge, it's 10:12 and the thermometer on my balcony is showing 14 degrees and there's very little wind.

Well I'm glad its not so cold here otherwise it would be looking for a warmer shirt

Damned cold this morning. I woke up feeling cold and was looking for some blanket cover, then realized I was already under my (very warm) blanket but still feeling cold!

13 degrees, I believe it!

The other shocker is in the evening when I'm already in bed, and then my wife joins me with sub-zero penguin feet.

Perfect weather!

[Sparkles]

Perfect weather!

Ditto, I still swim every day,around 10am, in an outside pool and sitting in the sun afterwards the temp is about 25-28 degrees, most days, when the sun is out.If people think its cold they have obviously not lived in a cold climate. Winter in CM is bliss.

[Tywais]

Washed my car this afternoon and didn't break a sweat, ideal weather. Of course having done that probably means rain tomorrow.

[el jefe]

Official low temp at the airport this morning was 16.1° according to the TMD. That's about what it felt like. Very pleasant.

[ARISTIDE]

I know what you mean I just had my car washed in the other day and it rained in January.

Of course having done that probably means rain tomorrow.

Was working in my garden this afternoon and broke a lot of sweat. I though it was hot during the day. Feeling a bit cold now. Just checked my thermometer and it is 19 degrees. No way I could ever go back to live in England.

14 day forecast http://www.zoover.co...ang-mai/weather

What's interesting about that 14 day forecast is the increase in the maximum temp.. It's going from 30 to 37 degrees. It looks like hot season is on the way. Yes I can't wait. I know I'm in the minority here but I love hot season and I love the heat. That is why I live in a hot country. bring it on.

[naboo]

Yes. dam_n cold.

And I'll eat my shorts in front of Thapae Gate if it gets to 37 C in the next two weeks.

Long range forecasts are worthless. Anyone predicting 37° in CM in January needs a new computer model. Or a human to look at the numbers before thy go up.

It was 12.5° this morning at the airport. Wonderful!

Ah yes, the joy when one's tirak wants to snuggle-up, followed by the shock of ice-cold feet !

I remember it well, from every winter when we lived in the UK, but had hoped that those days were past, after we moved to CM !

[jaideeguy]

this morning 56 degrees f......the coldest yet this winter in Doi Saket. Love It!!

[CMX]

I was impressed by the clear air. Between the rains and this air mass, a delightful result.

[Ricardo]

Down to 13*C this morning, here in Mae-Jo, now where did I put my snow-boots ? Pass the cocoa !

[thaimiller]

It was as just over 10 degree's when I took the dog for a walk in Mae-jo/Mae-Fak this morning at 5am.

[CMwanderer]

So when will it warm up?

[WinnieTheKhwai]

Can be any day. Cold weather in the North happesn in 'cold snaps', and we're in the middle of one now. These cold snaps can last for any number of days, and can happen until somewhere into February I suppose. Then March it gets nasty with a capital N.

[jackr]

No way I could ever go back to live in England.

Mate was saying it had warmed up nicely by lunchtime yesterday in the Midlands, -4!

[beautifulthailand99]

Freezing last night on a motorbike outside the city limits - was supposed to have left it behind in the UK .Thank god the Thai missus insisted I pack jumpers and a jacket. BTW passed a Farang monk on the street near Thaepae Gate this morning and we exchanged smiles - anybody know where's theres a temple with Pra Falangs I feel the need to confess.
