geriatrickid Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 We're on station in Nahkon si thammarat and despite the balmy weather, when the wind blows it sure is chilly. Maybe one day the sun will come out again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilgoster Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 In the far south here, we don't get chill weather; it seems we usual get rain weather or cloud weather, seldom wind weather; but more and more, rain weather is giving way to sun weather. Perhaps in the Ice Age we were visited with snow weather; - that's no weather for me, being from the Northwest ... of San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 "Chatchai also cited a Thai Meteorological Department report that the chilly weather would last until mid-February 2014 and said the department, while tackling the cold spell, was also planning to tackle the drought particularly in the North and Northeast" Good to see they are tackling the cold spell and they will have it handled about the time that cold season traditionally ends. Then they can get started on making it hot for hot season. The drought will probably take until rainy season to get fixed though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muhendis Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Here in Burrr Riram the solar electrickery panels are doing fine but the hot water panel is struggling a bit with the avg. temp. of 20 by day and 12 at night. The guys in the village are wandering about in greatcoats and blankets in the early morning air. I blame it all on China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
