What's with the weather?

[Kenny202]

7 degrees here in Khon kaen this morning and a predicted top of 18. We've been complaining we had no winter this year. Is it a particular weather event? The rest of the country cold like this?

19 degrees in Hua Hin this morning. It's feeling a bit fresh! Actually makes a nice change. I hope it lasts a week

9 degrees in Sawang Daen Din - Sakon Nakhon province - this morning at 7 am but no wind and rain like yesterday .

It was snowing yesterday in Laos in Houaphan district

14 degrees here in Samphran, Nakhon Pathom

[NoBrainer]

17 degrees in Pattaya at 7:45 AM.

I think it has something to do with Global Warming, ah, Climate Change.

The scientists know that something is going on, but they just can't quite nail it down. Needs a few more hundred years of study.

Lucky me. I travelled to Pattaya yesterday.

So I enjoy the "mild" 17 C this morning

During the trip I used the heater in my car until noon.

At home (west of Khon Kaen) temperatures around 10 C or below.

Daily max. yesterday 17 C!

Since I know about/visit/live in Thailand this is a first timer.

I remember cold days with just over 20 C but not with wind and rain.

But 17 C never.

The cold seems to affect large parts of SEA.

Record snowfall in North Vietnam etc.

12 here in Phetchabun,it was reported several days ago that temperatures were to drop dramatically due to a weather front coming from China,expected to last another 3/4 days.

Let's hope that the Thai weather report is correct and the worst is over on Wednesday (so two more cold days).

That's one thing I did not realise before I bought my truck some years ago - no heater!

[SOTIRIOS]

.....El Nino ???...

...something not right here...

...and it's NOT 'Global Warming'...

[davidst01]

There are no heaters in my house and the only solution is to turn off the air con. At least the windows are already closed

[lordblackader]

12 degrees in Chiang Mai currently with one app telling me the top temp will be 14 with the other saying it will get to 18.

I think it will struggle to get to 18 unless we get some sun, it's currently dark and raining.

I'd stick to model planes,your attempt at humour is futile to say the least.

[Kenny202]

I got a laugh. Everything bad happens to Thailand apparently comes from China

[spidermike007]

It has been such a hot winter so far, I am hoping this weather last a month or more! Cool nights. Mild days. Hallelujah. Feel like dancing in the streets. I am told this is a bizarre phenomenon known as winter.

9C is the low for Sunday/Monday for Udon Thani according to the weather website I use. I could have sworn it was less than that yesterday (Sunday) day time when I was outside the city limits in the biting rain on the scooter with the wind chill factor. Took me several hours to stop shivering. Was with friends semi-outdoors all huddled in a corner with multiple layers of clothing. Strangely by evening (when finally dry), although it was chilly, I didn't need a blanket at night to sleep, it just felt like a fresh brisk bite to the air.

No idea what the official cause is, but it seems to have happened in tandem with the USA cold snap which makes me wonder about the global correlation.
