Sandman77 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 hello! A old thai man from bk told me years ago, before 2o years , we don't need any air con , not same now! Usalay from personal feeling it is every year more hot earlier ! When I areived one month ago we have 31 in the northeast since. The Heatweave come,it's 36 37 When I was a child, my grandma told me, she read about a prophecy of mother Jesus!, that Asia will dry and burn out within the next 50 years! In Europe is via versa, it's getting colder and colder , and more snow, because Antarctic ice is gone ,more year after year! Let's talk about the past how was temperature 2o year ago in different region of Thailand? What you think , is it realy more earlier hot every year. Or maybe I getting seductive with 25 not same then 10 years later now, I don't know! ? Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Seems pretty stable over the last 60 years. I think it's probably more due to what people tolerate now. http://www.tutiempo.net/en/Climate/BANGKOK/484550.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semper Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yes, the heat is a real drag. However, investing in a aircon can do wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The old man from Bangkok is full of it. Bangkok was sweltering hot 20 years ago, just like it is now. Chiang Mai has been cooler in hot season for the last few years, because of so much rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jingjoe8 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 It was 15 degrees in Bangkok in the middle of the day in March 18 months ago. I was at the airport that day,flying home to oz to escape songkran and the heat,well it was <deleted> cold,girls were wearing coats,15 degrees sounds about right I think because a/c is much more common these days people feel the heat without it. I remember as a kid in australia 25years ago going to sleep with a wet towel on me because we had no aircon,i also can't ever remember having air con in the car and how hot it was driving to the beach in summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Loei has the dubious distinction of being the coldest province in Thailand. So far this year it has been a very mild winter. Unfortunately it has not been warm enough for me. This morning I had to snuggle up to my wife to try to get warm. Tonight it will be two blankets for me.

Popular Post Rsquared Posted December 16, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2012 This topic so frustrates me......the earth as we know it, has undergone many a climate change well before we even were some aliens imagination. A couple of degrees here or there in our lifetime is nothing......get over it people....adjust as the earth does. Have another beer/wine/scotch.... and go to bed. Cheers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotandhumid Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yes, the heat is a real drag. However, investing in a aircon can do wonders. Not everyone wants to feel a 'draft' on their body for 24 hours a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damo Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'd be more inclined to say the older you get the less apt you body is with dealing with the heat. Drink lots of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazykopite Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The property I live in is built on the mountain and is designed to accommodate the prevailing winds so I always have a breeze passing through the building which means that my air con is not used very much and I live in the South of Thailand. when designing a property one should always consider prevailing winds and very good overhangs to stop the sun from turning your home into a furnace trouble is many farangs think they can build a typical European property and only realize the prblem when it is to late !!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potosi Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It was 15 degrees in Bangkok in the middle of the day in March 18 months ago. End of march, and for 3 days only. On the way to Pattaya it warmed to 22 degrees, and caused the floods in South Thailand. I had 35 degrees in the shade on my patio today in Pattaya, last night 29 degrees at 10pm. It's supposed to be 10 degrees below that at this time of the year, and since mid-november at the least. For some reason, the NE monsoon is cancelled this year.

cbrer Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Dyson needs to invent a battery (or solar) powered aircon belt that blows cold air up your shirt. Edited December 17, 2012 by cbrer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It's supposed to be 10 degrees below that at this time of the year, and since mid-november at the least. For some reason, the NE monsoon is cancelled this year. Very true. Same here in the Northeast. This "winter" is completely different. Today burning hot again. What a contrast to the record flood year 2011. March 2011, starting about the 15th the coldest period within living memory started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman77 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Maybe we have 45 c on songkran , when heat come this year early! And 50 c in 10 years! People in Isaan told me 25 year before make fire in the night and morning cool, now hot! I think the old man was right, and temperature statistics on the net, not reflect the reality Comparing to Europe,and when I travel to Mexico in the past, got quickly sunburn, but here in Thailand never have problem! Sometime I think in the alps where I come from the ozone intensy is stronger then in Thailand! Maybe the ozone hole, in Europe also bigger then here in Thailand ?

rene123 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The weather is changing right around the world. However, there seems to be more fat people in Thailand today than there were in 1998 when I first came to Thailand. When people get fatter they feel the heat more. In Chiang Mai the skinny people are putting on more clothes and the fat ones go around in as little as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotandhumid Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'm in Pattaya and it's like being in an oven....it is seriously doing my head in. Funny thing is you still get some twerps using the word 'winter' in this sweat box country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
