Weather in Udon ?

[Drunk Monkey]

circa 5;30 out with the doggies ...twas indeed scrotum tighteningly chilly with morning mist rising over the bin dipper who rather amusingly has a Merc Benz badge on his sidecar... i had to put a Tshirt on !!

Love this time of year .. hope this weather hangs about for a good while longer.

DM

Defo cooler and our un-walked dogs are huddling on the patio. If this oersists, I imagine the doggie shirts will be made ready for tonight.

Meanwhile, I'm sat on't sofa, morning coffee at hand, waiting for what should be a quite eye-catching morning ironing session.

My 2 doggies did have the shirts on but took em off cos irritating them .. like me they are very sensitive. !!

Back to the weather .. mist now gone sun up and my T SHIRT OFF .. Scunny lads dont fook aboot.

Tam hunched on the sofa clad in only pyjama bottoms and a tank top .. waiting for the morning perv at puffy the ironing board slayer ... conjures up a ghastly image ..BUT ENJOY .. and dont forget the vid.

5;15 dog walk and i can confirm it was still dark .. and chilly temp showing 13 degrees , clear no mist yet and a small of burning which could ov been suagr cane or my underpants steaming due to the intense cold outside n warmth inside , other attire included Tshirt shorts and SUFC Beanie (no socks) , Jack n Jill the Russells did a quick number one n two and back to the duveted basket leaving me to perculate hot coffee whilst doing my morning yoga and aerobics..

Porridge with a sprinkling of chinamon for brekkie ..........living the dream !!

Yes a tad cool, smoke from something burning, again not uncommon this time of the year when All is dry, farmers and even gardeners like me taking advantage of the dryness to clear out unwanted growth, at least it burns quickly and soon dissipates .
No breeze this morning but not as cold as forecasted, probably due to cloud cover.

30-40% chance of rain Thurs-Sat.......it hasn't rained in over 2 months, so the roads will be slick.........if it rains!

[parrot]

Not a drop or even a hint of a drop of rain since our last in mid-Oct. It's as dry a period of time as we've seen in many years.

[Drunk Monkey]

Lovin the cool temps in the early mornings and yep its been as dry as bones since October .. Nov through til Feb normally are ...arent they ??.. first decent rain arrives March April .. with rainy season July onwards ?? I MAY BE WRONG

I see its up to 34 day high n 20 overnight low next week .

The weather forecast alert on my new smartphone started issuing rain warnings about 4 days ago. Three days ago we saw the start of this random, overcast a misty rainfall. Mrs tam reminded me that it's mango rain time again.

Its Nesh ..

looks like the waste dump on the east side of Udon is burning too.. 224 AQI in Ban Nong Na Kham.. https://aqicn.org/map/udon-thani/

im seriously starting to wonder about your aqi
meter theory. this morning cool & clear . other
days i wake up sneezing for 2 hrs? meter good

i suppose it makes sense you need to be close
to meter, for it to be relevant

Are the AQI measurements in udon from satellites or physical monitors on a pole somewhere?

well, i know little more than you. but it's something
like a sensing box, mounted on a condo building
or school( in city)

you can buy them privately, less than 1k ฿ just
peeked online, truth it looks like big alarm clock

Udon's AQI sensors at https://aqicn.org/station/thailand/udon ... 9%E0%B8%B5
It'd seem to me the readings are of little use unless you're near one of the readings. They won't help much if your neighbor burns his trash to keep the flies/mosquitoes away from his cows at night.

[pepesgrill]

obviously some overnight burning. runny nose

& sneezing meter shows 135-150 . but i agree
meaningless 4-5 km's this way or other

& mossie are absolutely swarming. i hadn't
realized they could be so damaging to livestock

[FrazeeDK]

AQI of 186 on the south side of the city at 0830 Friday 28 Jan. It will only get worse as the great cane field burnings begin.. https://aqicn.org/map/udon-thani/

[Drunk Monkey]

the burning aside ...its smashing weather isnt it ?? great temps

Ive just been in Bkk briefly and the difference in temps from there to Udon is huge .. it also stinks in Bkk but no cos of burning.

Re travel .. no issues what so ever circa 2000 kms round trip not stopped once .. strict entry into ware house n office via MOPH Onut with free rapid testing all beit had to wait for a time slot .... pleased to say DM was negative.

There's a fair amount of shaming on FB for things like piles of garbage, major pot holes, and other government services gone awry. I'm surprised no one's used a drone to document burning sugar cane fields....especially those closer to Udon central.
Photos like the one in the link might also get attention from the authorities.

Things are warming up. I have noticed ants in the kitchen again and anywhere that hasn't been cleaned up properly like the 'coffee corner' and dining table. Haven't seen any ants these past two, cool months.

DM up n aboot early this morning 5am to be exact ..doggies walked and online following the UK footy deadline day transfer activity at Scunny UTD .. (8 players coming in )

A tad chilly this morning and needed to wear a shirt ... im seeing lower temps for a couple of days before creeping back up to nasty hot days , not so cool nights .. still nice n dry hopefully for another month or 2 as got a perimeter wall to build. ..cant recall when the first rain tends to arrive....anyone can remind me ??

The doggieometer pointed to it being cooler this morning as Jack n Jill both shot straight back to bed after a wazz n logging off.

^ First rain was about 10 or 12 days ago, same as the year before. Might be some more this week. Maybe not.
