jon46 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Here in the northeast USA, it has been unseasonably cool with some light snow a couple of weeks ago. At the moment, the temperatures here are around 10 degrees Celsius. Last year, it was considerably warmer. I guess you can not predict with certainty that year-over-year global warming will result in hotter months. Consequently, I have no idea of what the coming months will be like...

TroyinEwa/Perv Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I do........I predict the temperatures will gradually increase over the coming weeks and months and then decline towards the end of the year. Possible precipitation in the form of rain in the coming few months will happen periodically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I have never seen Thais complaining about the heat the way they do now. Several have commented that Thailand used to have three seasons - hot, rainy and cool. Now there is only one - hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I have never seen Thais complaining about the heat the way they do now. That's from listening to falangs whinging about it for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 (yes, I checked the date before posting this ...) Those with long memories will recall that I pegged April as the worst month to visit LOS because of: a. the heat b. Songkran Sadly, I dont expect Malaysia to be any cooler when my plane lands in April next year, but at least I can avoid Songkran. I dont know how you guys put up with it, particularly as the bucket-toting idiots seem to have zero concept of the threat they pose to motorbike riders and others.

Flashermac Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 That's from listening to falangs whinging about it for so long. Strange ... in my neighbourhood I'm the only Farang within 4 or 5 square kms. Only a handful of the Thais here can speak even very basic English. I must get around a lot.

gobbledonk Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Cope with it by staying away from Pattaya Excellent point - we know what to expect : I wonder if the same can be said for Boris, Natasha and the kids enjoying a couple of weeks off in Patts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Just checked the 2014 calendar, and it's clear that it futile to land in BKK before May 6, but it looks like a clean slate right through till August from that point forward - perfect for the kind of no-pants partying I plan to be doing down Pattaya way. I guess I'll just have to take comfort in the arms of women elsewhere for 3 weeks or so - tough life. http://portalseven.com/calendar/Holidays_Thailand.jsp?year=2014 I'm confident that I can avoid Songkran in 2015 - anything beyond that is too far into the future for even my incredibly attractive crystal balls !

Flashermac Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Happened again last night, second time in a couple of weeks ... BLACKOUT! When it gets so damned hot, all the Thais with a/c think ... "Gosh, lets turn every a/c in the house down to 10C and see what happens." What happens is they overload the system and the entire neighbourgood gets to sit in the dark and sweat! This time it was more of a "brown-out' than a blackout. There was actually enough electricity flowing to light one solitary bulb, which glowed faintly like a candle in a cave. Not enough power to move the blades of an electric fan though. Thailand is not quite ready for the 19th century, let alone the 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
