sezzo Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Up here in Ubon the temperature both day and night has increased dramatically in the last week or so. My family have almost stopped using the installed hot water heater and are using just tap water for their showers. Big climate change very quickly.

We are living in the area, and yes, the coldest i have seen on our thermo at 06.00am this winter was 16 celsius, right now, it's pretty back to normal, around 22-25 in the morning, daytime up to 35 (today).

My Songkran experience stems from Korat. Last night it was 24C here and now the temperature is 35C. So that pretty much ties in with your Songkran temperatures!!! Regardless of whether it is the same as Songkran or not, the temperatures have certainly soared upwards over the last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 All I know is I have had to turn on my air conditioning the past couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aletta Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Last week or so have had the fans blasting away.Seems to have been a very steep gradient to the temperature rise this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_James Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 yep it's been pretty hot here this last week in Loei Province..... the seasons sure change fast and it's got to the stage that you really look forward to a cold shower before bed. It also hasn't helped the temp with all the pyromaniacs we have living in the village.... they have started fires in the mountain range near where we live and it's been burning for the last 2 weeks.... It has not rained here since the end of September...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoH Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 All I know is I have had to turn on my air conditioning the past couple of weeks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Air con,,, well i have to say that I haven't use aircon in last few yrs even in the Hot Season, cos Thais making good fans and running in and out from aircon room to outside is one good way to get sick. Btw way here is nice figures from this year, as i have termometer what is recording lowest and highest tem. In here 40Km off Ubon town we had lowest night time temperature this cold season +11.1C and days highest in the shade +52.2c, that is hot specially when there is no wind at all. So lest wait and see what we going to have this year, now days it's getting nice and warm. "Frying the egg's is lot of fun in the balcony black tiles", no need to have BBQ grill.

In January in Isaan the low was just 6 (although the lowest we recorded was 10) and the highest 42. The worst thing is the humidity. It is very,very high at the mo,although this morning was considerably cooler. It is a case of taking it day by day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway went to BKK and Pattaya and it was warm.... got back to Isaan about 5 days ago and it's like someone had turned the gas up... no long sleeves for me now.....

bannork Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 (edited) It's always like this because in the winter months Issan comes under the cold high pressure fronts from China, the higher areas west of Nong Khai and the provinces around Nakhon Phanom seem to get especially parky. Now the hot season is making its presence felt as the high pressure retreats before the southern airmass, 'The heat is on', as that sexy black girl sang 20 years ago,( who was it?), we'll fry in April as usual, just pray for rain; God, I love the thunderstorms in Issan. bannork Edited February 4, 2005 by bannork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was her name though and can she sing morlam? Regarding thunderstorms, one swallow doesn't make a summer, but let's hope it does. bannork.
