canuckamuck Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hoping for a few main rains before the long dry season. Got thousands of baby trees that can use all the wet they can get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 No fog down here, warm and clear. Thanks for the all clear. You got me out of the house at least 30 mins earlier than on my own. I was that long into my ride before patches of blue started showing up. On the way back it looked like I would ride into a wall of water if I continued down the 1020 toward Chiang Khong so cut my ride short at 59 km. No rain at home though and temps ranged from 27 to 34 during the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripstanley Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The thermometer was reading 21C this morning and is now 23 C inside. Colder outside with the cool breeze. No fans on today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripstanley Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I have only been here for 4 years. The last 2 days are the coldest temperatures I have experienced in October. How often does October experience these low temperatures? Where I came from if the thermometer fell below 20C during the day it was considered equivalent to be 0 C, ie bloody freezing Edited October 12, 2015 by ripstanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often does October experience these low temperatures? Where I came from if the thermometer fell below 20C during the day it was considered equivalent to be 0 C, ie bloody freezing It may have happened before, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, but I can’t remember for sure. It may have been November. The way I look at it, we don’t have a traditional winter based on latitude. What we get is cold fronts which dip down from China from time to time. Whether it is the jet stream or some other weather anomaly causing the cold to move south at any given time I don’t know. We rest at roughly the same latitude as the Hawaiian Islands 19+ degrees, so the angle of the sun is almost identical in both places throughout the year. The ocean stabilizes things in Hawaii but being inland temperatures vary more in Chiang Rai and sometimes China blesses us with some chilly days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I agree, these temps are quite a surprise for early October. 19 in my office this morning, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I did 73 km in the cold, mist and wind while it remained dark all day long. Today was absolutely beautiful and the light was amazing, not too hot yet either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerangutang Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Wish it would rain some more. There's a shallow spot at Boomerang Park which always had about 1 foot of standing water up until February. Now it's almost dried up. If we get no more rain until May, ...mai dee.

sceadugenga Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I was reading about people dancing in the rain in Burma after the election and thought "well it's not raining here" looked out the back door and there it was on the way. Went into town and there was about an hour's quite heavy rain just before lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The drive to town today was so beautiful but we have been stuck here at Rai Boon Rawd all afternoon waiting for the rain to stop. Not a bad place to be stuck though. I wonder if this will be the last rain of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
