You can always tell the newbie by their comments about the weather in Thailand. They look in a guidebook that says the rainy season goes up to November and then think there is something wrong when they see some spots in December. Maybe a conspiracy theory, bless.

It's the dew point.

Funny........I live up in the northeast by Laos and it's been dry as a desert for over a month!

you live in the desert,

so how you wonder ?

Global warming -

global weather change,

remember for at least 3 years,

in december and new year around ,

my kids dont go swimming in the sea any more,

as sometimes still rain and water too cold !

Like in my homecountry in central europe,

we did skiing just behind our home on a small hill,

last 3 years no sufficient snow any more,

before 40 years, min 1 meter snow for 3 months !!

I guess in future swimming season will start here in februar !!

or:

In austria we have to make snow now,

maybee here to heat up pools and the sea !!

You better check with Meteorological Department.

It frequently rains in December in BKK.

thunderstorm in Jomtien now and the amount of water coming down is simply ludicrous.

Just perfect timing to stop the shrieking ,noisy and totally annoying aerobics bitch from preforming outside my condo, thank you rain god, same time tomorrow please

Hey Balo,go to church and say a few prays,i'm sure god will help you out.You should have went earlier and could have booked all of December as a dry spell.

Better that than for it to be raining in your heart

Anyway, some cleansing rain is good to wash away some of the dirt and dust. Clears the air and cools it down too.

I personally like this rain, makes things cooler and when there is a downpour it washes the grim and filth off the sidewalks and streets. I even saw a dead soi dog floating down a narrow flooded soi into Beach Rd the other day after another one of the "floods".

Wasn't he in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ?

Ok we had more heavy rain today, it feels like September. Just told my friends who arrives Thailand this weekend they can expect daily rainshowers.

Because the Golden Goose has died.

There is a teaching from ancient Vedic India which says that the seasons come on time when human beings are virtuous; otherwise unaccustomed changes occur on the planet.

Why is there a Cat 4 Typhoon bearing down on the Philippines in bloody December???!!!

Yeah, and aimed at my house which was wrecked by Typhoon Haiyan only 13 months ago.

I would love to be complaining about a bit of rain....

Yeah. Thanks! The centre of the typhoon is currently 240 km from our house. I think we're going to miss the brunt of this storm as it's going to track at least 100 km north from our house and we're there's still no wind and only light rain. It's going to make landfall around 10pm to midnight tonight.

Good luck over there; hunker down and be safe man.

your observations are right . . . the weather patterns have changed slightly. The "dry season" can now involve getting wet, as the "cold season" might turn out to be extremely cold.

I bet it is just the extremes that are on a rise, not the overall patterns. What I want to say with this, is, the little amount of rainfall in Pattaya during December according to the statistics, has just begun to reach new levels.

As someone who has not lived in Pattaya one hundred years ago, I cannot with accuracy state that the weather has indeed changed. One needs to see clear over long periods, not over the past 5 to 10 years.
