[thenervoussurgeon]

Is it just me or does anyone else think that this year its particularaly cool ,normally its getting quite warm around now but for the last three weeks we have not put the air con on once ,it must be global cooling (we like to be different in Thailand)

Cool and lots of rain at night in Chiang Mai.....isn't it great?

So, having temperate, pleasant weather is a bad thing?

[HardenedSoul]

I think it's great.

I get to wear a jacket without breaking into a sweat if I take 3 steps.

[loong]

January is normally cool

In this area the cool season was late coming, so I hope that it will be late finishing.

But extremely hot right now, cool nights though.

[pattayadingo]

Great for me. Cloudy skies, some rain, cool. A bit like being back in the old country

[barrybankruad]

Here in Buriram we've had no cool season at all. Apart from a couple of days when the temperature only reached the high twenties, every day has been 30C or hotter. More of the same is forecast. Nights too have been warmer, coldest was 15C about a month ago. I love it.

What are you talking about? Pattaya weather station reported a low of 25.3, and a high of 30.6 degrees today. It's too warm for the season. Maybe you haven't been to Pattaya for long, and don't know that the night temperatures used to be below 20 degrees for much of November till January. Haven't had a single such night for 3 years running. Unusual was the week of rain almost every day at the end of January, one a heavy downpour. A very large climate feature, the Asian NE monsoon has been a failure this dry season. If that's not climate change, what is?

Its the weather, but make it politically correct and include "man made" if you want.

[teatree]

Definately a much longer cool season than there has been in BK for for a long time.

Not really a surprise with global temps remaining flat for more than 15 years and the climate looking likely to go into a cooling period over the next few decades.

[astral]

Probably Global Weirding

After a short cool spell and a few evening showers it is back to warm weather again here in Chiang Mai. It's still pleasant though.

[Felt 35]

Cool......! Well warmer than usual for January in Phuket, nearly April temp.

Where I came from what I did depended greatly on the weather so I came to understand how things worked.

There we have something called the southern oscillation which means that weather patterns move from north to south and back again over a period of years.

I suspect after watching for a few years that the same happens in this part of the world.

That would be why we had floods in 2010 - 11 with heavy rain in the north of the country.

Then last year the main rain had moved south so the CP river did not rise to the level of the previous 2 years. Flooding mostly in BKK where the heave rain was.

If this continues then it is likely that there will be less rain in the north this year and of course corresponding lower winter temps in the north at this time of the year.

There is a guage down by the river here that shows the level of the river in previous years and I see that the high river level occurs every 4 to 5 years.

I wait to see If what I suspect is correct.
