---- it's cold!

Post by Bandung_Dero » March 17, 2011, 5:29 pm

In the ten years living within the Udon Province I can't ever remember it being so cold heading into the summer hot season. Right now I abandoned my usual Thursday afternoon beer in town and went home early, fully clad in everything I could find that looked like a 'Woolie'

Global Warming! Anyone told Budda? [-o<

I have a digital weather station in my home, with a remote sensor outside.
It showed 14.5. Outside.
21.1 inside the house, and we only had all the Aircons in the house serviced ready for the hot season, normally on full whack this time of year.
Got two duvets on the bed, and the missus is sleeping wearing a woolly hat.
The shower heater is turned fully into the red zone.

The current temperature forecast for Udon Thani on Monday, March 21st is over 100F, so I wouldn't complain too much about this weather.

11:05 AM, 15.5 Deg C outdoors here in the rice paddies of Ban Dung. Completely overcast with drizzle all morning along with a smoke haze, Thais are burning everything they can find to get warm.

No I'm not complaining either just it is an unusual event being felt right through out the Kingdom.

Perishing isn't it. :(

I've just been to a Thai Wedding this morning, - sat outside under the proverbial marque. Oh for one of those Korean barbeques to huddle round. :razz:

Will have to go home and get the hair dryer out! :lol:

The weather forecast is that this cold wet weather should slowly clear away later today. :D

t'ain't nuthin' why I remember back in the winter of 73 when the various scummy puddles around my slum behind Paradise pool actually had a skin of ice on em'.. Now that was cold!! (at least for Thais... t'was agaht yen sabai sabai for me). As I recall even Udon had some of the poorer folks sleeping outside downtown dying of exposure from the cold.

Hi,
According to my weather station, temp. yesterday never reached 20C. Max. was 19.6C. Bloody cold. coldest i have seen in Udon, in the six years i've lived here.
Still we have to be grateful, temp at this time 1230Hrs is 28.1C, wall to wall blue sky and a big yellow thing up there, lovely.
