Easy Come Easy Go Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 In the 8 and a bit years that I've lived in Thailand, October and November have never been this hot and humid. Normally I relish and look forward to these months, as they obviously should provide some respite. But this year in HH it hasn't really let up at all, still up in the low to mid 30s day in day out! Are things normal where you're living?? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterw42 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Have noticed the same in Pattaya this year, defiantly hotter than others years for the time of the year. It was on the news the other day, hottest autumn and winter for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much, much hotter and more humid here just outside Tha Bo near Nong Khai, even the locals are saying it is much hotter than in previous years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevvy Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 days are some cooler 28c and the nights are down to 22c , Chiang Rai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 My Long John's are gathering a musty smell in the wardrobe. All the little DIY household repair jobs that I had been saving up for the cool season would now keep a platoon of engineers busy for a week. 29C indoors and hotter than the surface of the sun outside. Global warming....its real !! Even our 5 dogs stay under the house in the shade until 5 pm. This is in lower Petchabun. Probably cooler in the north of the province. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked online at Chiang Mai weather, and it seems to be around 30-32 in the day, which is pretty hot for this time of year, and, and more so for Chiang Mai!

It literally feels like Songkran some days here in HH! I remember a few years ago it dropped down to around 20C degrees on a November, and I had to wear socks to bed as I'd become used to the temperatures and climate here over a few years! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunolem Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Same here in the Sisaket/Ubon area...very hot and especially humid which makes it even less bearable. Since yesterday, we have a Northeastern wind which is cooling things a bit, but altogether it certainly doesn't feel like the winter season...used to be...

Irishrogue Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I left an electronic Barometer on the table on the balcony yesterday as it was beyond to hot to sit in the direct sunlight.

lordblackader Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Weather is cyclical to begin with but in Chiang Mai at the beginning of the month it was one of the coolest starts to winter in years. But that said, the last week or so it has gotten fairly warm again. TMD is predicting it will get cold again in December and it likely will.

Wandering around the the property this evening with beer in hand, shorts and singlet, could not be better. Starting to cool off now 6.30pm so will be perfect for sleeping later.

Coota Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I agree, I live in Surin and usually look forward to Oct/Nov but this year it has been way too hotter than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of it like this When you stand outside and feel the burn on your skin, the blinding light in your eyes, most people forget that it's a huge ass burning ball of energy doing all of that. Like if you sit next to a camp fire, you can feel the heat on your skin and the light in your eyes. Yet this is a ball of burning matter many millions of miles away, and yet it has even greater affects on everything than a camp fire. But also that camp fire over time will get stronger and weaker, stronger and weaker. This happens from moment to moment with flickering flames, hot spots etc. The sun is no different, and operates in many non formal cycles. I feel this is just one of the cycles where the sun is pumping out more energy than prior to recent years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
