webfact Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Cold season has arrived and remains longer than the past few years BANGKOK: -- Thailand is entering the cold season as of October 30 and the cold weather will last longer than it was in the past few years. Meteorological Department director-general Wanchai Sak-udomchai told Thai PBS on Monday that the cold season has arrived faster this year and is expected to last longer with temperature starting to drop in November until next February. People in the North and the Northeast can now experience cool weather, but Bangkok and the central region will still have rains although rainfalls will steadily drop and weather will turn cold in December. Temperature in Bangkok is forecast to drop to 15-16 degree Celsius in December whereas mountains in the North and the Northeast will experience very cold weather.

ratcatcher Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 "Mr Wanchai attributed the cold front for the North Pole for prolonging the cold season this year which will be different from the previous few years when the cold season was short due to the effect of El Nino." Well, who to blame? El Nino or Santa Claus at the North Pole? Await the annual cries for blankets and warm clothes for the shivering people in the north. Perhaps there will be ice skating on the frozen water covering the flooded rice fields to the east of our home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangkhut Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 "BANGKOK: -- Thailand is entering the cold season as of October 30 and the cold weather will last longer than it was in the past few years" Its a bit early to tell how long the cold season will last the 1th of November, isnt it? Whish I could be there "the cood season" - its the only time its liveable in Thailand as far as I see it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petermik Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 As it will be a "colder" and longer season than normal this should increase consumption of rice and therefore push up the price.......happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year's hot season was almost unendurable, but the rainy season just ending was quite nice. Of course I've been here a long time, so I find 27°C (80.6°F) a bit cool. I agree, though, it's awfully early to be predicting how long the cool season is going to last. I don't know where this guy came from, but he's been putting out very bizarre announcements from the Meteorological Department for three or four years now.

Antarctic ice extent has set new records 4 times in recent years. False action and reaction. "... one of their most visually compelling arguments has centered upon Antarctic sea ice, which expanded to reach record levels in 2014. If the planet really is warming, they ask, then shouldn’t the ice in the southern ocean be melting?" A fair question that requires a scientific answer. James Hansen, former director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and colleagues argue that the increase in Antarctic sea ice not only doesn’t refute climate change, but actually is caused by warming. http://www.seeker.com/does-global-warming-actually-increase-antarctic-sea-ice-1770086842.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
