The Good Morning Hua Hin show is on the air. :D 0345 and 19.3 in Hua Hin and 19.5 in Rayong, Feels much colder as an 8mph wind from the north blowing in both places, but TMD doesn't list wind chill. Said to be heading to 30-31 today but I'll believe it when I see it. Pete :cheers:

Bangkok 18.6
Korat 17.1
Udorn 15.5
Chiang Mai 15.1

Must be another symptom of global warming!
See, I was right!
Colder weather in Thailand is caused by global warming

Weather Department on Thursday said that the global warming is the major cause of dropping of temperature in Thailand.

Department's Deputy Director General Somchai Baimuang said that the cold weather is likely to continue until tomorrow.

Temperature on Thursday has dropped across the country, with that in Bangkok dropped to 19 Celcius and that in northern province of Loei went down to 6.12 Celcius.

The radar is off the chart at the moment with what's coming across the gulf at you in HH. It should be raining there already? We just got power back here in Rayong at 0900 after going out at 0530 during a howling wind and rain storm, strong enough to blow bicycles down the driveway, overflow my pool, and once again, uproot one of my big trees. :( :( I think we're in for a few days of this.

Yes, somebody has peeded off the weather gods big time. Huge thunder storm and rain in Bangkok this morning. An intense low pressure sitting right over Bangkok at the moment, and being fed by a huge high over China. :cheers:

Flip a coin, I always wished I had become a meteorologist. It's the only job I know where you can be consistently wrong and not get fired! :wink: :cheers:

I don't think so, the action seems to be further south from Chumphon down. Bookmark this link PB and you'll have the same reference many of us use here. The radar tab on the right is interesting to access from time to time. Pete :cheers:

EDIT: FYI, What's happening/headed for Hua Hin shows up best on the Rayong radar sub tab under TMD Radar Loop.

Flood in Thailand

Post by cheng »

Hi
We read about the flood in Thailand & wonder how bad it is. We're arriving Bangkok on Thursday & going to HH on Friday, so some local updates would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

All of the bad weather is south of Hua Hin and per the below article, heading further south. See the government weather link a few posts up which will give you accurate updates 24-7. Pete :cheers:
