Tywais Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 With Doi Inthanon in Chiang Mai blanketed with frost and temperatures at 2 degrees Celsius Tuesday morning, the Meteorological Department issued a warning of thundershowers with gusty winds and hail as well as an 8 to 10degree Celsius drop in temperature until Sunday in upper Thailand. Meanwhile, the Cabinet tasked the Interior Ministry with the job of tackling problems related to the cold spell in the North and Northeast and has suggested that areas that are under 15 degrees Celsius for three consecutive days should be declared disaster zones so residents are entitled to an emergency aid fund, government spokesman Teerat Ratanasevi said.The minimum temperature in Chiang Mai was recorded at 14 degrees Celsius yesterday with frost in some areas, while Chiang Rai and Phayao were at 19 degrees and Mae Hong Son at 11 degrees. Temperatures in the North could drop by another 3 to 5 degrees during this period, Pensiri Trisat, an expert from the northern meteorological centre, said.

Caibiao Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 In this coming week, the lowest temperature in the early morning is about 7 C. But it is still 20 C up in the noon. The temperature will change sharply this coming week. The bigest range one day is from 7 C to 28 C ! Take care, friends in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
