Doi Inthanon, the highest mountain in Chiang Mai province, has reported sub-zero temperatures as winter intensified. 

 

Kitsiam Khongsatri, the chief of Doi Inthanon National Park, confirmed that the sub-zero temperature was recorded at 5am before rising to 3 degrees Celsius. He believed the temperature could dip even more as the winter is forecast to stay for a while.

I find it amazing that anyone could get excited when the low temperature is minus 1 degree!  I can see a reason for excitement in areas where the temperature has hovered in the -20 to -40 degree for days or weeks then suddenly rises to a balmy -1 degree as a daytime high.
