balo Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) My first winter in CM . I'm staying here 1 year after living in Pattaya and Bangkok for some years. I already miss the sea breeze . But i was expecting the climate to be different than in the south . I know it's not windy up here , still was hoping it would be a bit cooler than the normal 32-34 degrees. Just waiting for a change really , I love outdoor activities but just too hot when the sun is up. . Edited October 22, 2016 by balo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkles Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Apart from Doi Ithnanon, which is the highest point in the country, it wont get cold ,cooler might be a better description although for some anything under 25 is cold. In 9 years I think I have worn a jumper once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Last year we saw three consecutive overnight temperatures of 8 degrees in Mae Rim and despite fifteen years here we went out and bought house heaters, just like many other people who have become accustomed to continuously hot weather did. This year? Who knows, it's getting cooler and nicer in the evenings but the day time temperatures seem to be hooter than in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have even been 8 Degrees, close to freezing in the surrounding areas.very cold . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puwa Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 In my experience, it gets colder as soon as the temperature drops. Happens every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Cool weather comes in cold spells that can last from a couple days to a couple weeks. And you can have multiple cold spells in a season. It's anyone's guess when they'll it, but often you can feel a dip in temperature already after Loy Krathong, and then when a real cold spell hits it gets quite cold, often late December and/or January. Last year was just insane how cold it was for several days, even during the day. (It usually the mornings that are cold, but then it still warms up to a very nice day temperature. Anyway the numbers for last year are out there somewhere if you'd like to look it up. It's different every year though. This may be a good time to repost last year's 'women in winter jackets' collage. Also does anyone remember all the snow at Thapae gate? That was COLD!

Sparkles Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Tomorrow is forecast 33 max with 23 overnight minimum.For me that's uncomfortably warm. For poor WTK suffering "insane cold" last year, during the day, man up sunshine. The day time temps, here for anyone from Europe,UK, like today, would be classified as a heat wave. Anyway for a few of us that like to swim every day of the year bring on "winter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm Norwegian so I guess that would be considered a cold summer day in that part of the world . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 The cold-season is slowly arriving, it's already been below-80*F, the past several mornings, and the monsoon cloud-cover has been replaced by scattered-clouds & warmer-afternoons. Give it another 4-6 weeks, to get the full effect, I'm airing-out my sweaters right now ! I suspect that what the OP really misses is the sea-breezes down in Pattaya, they are indeed pleasant. But for a quick-fix of cold, simply head up to somewhere Mae Salong, for a few days ... you do need a good duvet up there, for much of the year !

searcher22 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 If Accuweather is right, winter starts Nov 8 with a cold snap (28-30C) lasting several weeks. However, Wunderground is predicting more hot weather during that same period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konini Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 It's definitely on it's way. I've had to have a sarong over my shoulders a few mornings the last couple of weeks. When you see the temperature remember that it's 28 degrees in the sun. Much cooler in the shade or indoors unless you live somewhere facing the sun. This week I've washed all of the hoodies and trackie bottom and aired our the slippers, Mr K has used them once or twice already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yes a bit colder the last 2 days , especially in the early mornings. Looking forward for a drop in the daytime temperatures, I love to walk and use my bicycle when the sun is up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
