Official temperature readings are taken at 2 meters (6 1/2 feet) above ground level. So the 3C (37F) was at the 2 meter level.

And at an inch it was 0.5C (31F). As one can see there is a 2.5C (6F) difference in just that small a height change. That is on what is called macro-scale. Cold enough to snow but they had to settle for frost, which for Thailand is close enough. Oh, the wonders of weather.
