In old money that's 65 to 72 Fahrenheit. The UK would be very happy with that!!!
Only people that live here will understand how cold that is!
Indeed. A week of that and my pool finally reaches a refreshing temp. The women in the house will be wearing jumpers and pulling up an extra blanket at night!

It’s not particularly cold this morning, but the wind is blowing much more than normal, so it feels a bit colder in the shade, plus the trees are shedding leaves like nobody’s business, making a real mess of the garden!!
A lot of debris to and from Khao Tao this morning, A lot of fallen branches and signs laying beside roads. Something I've never known before, but water crashing across the pathway at the Southern shore. Poor dog had to keep shaking the water off his back. When we got home, a neighbour was out in the road gathering bricks from her fallen wall.
Probably the strongest wind I've known here for a long time. Yes, we often get very strong gusts, but this is sustained wind.
It continued for most of the night and still blowing now, although I think the worst has passed.
Good excuse for not working in the garden today, which I'd promised.
A bit of trivia. It has rained every year, since I began keeping track in 2007, between Christmas and New Year here in the east facing the sea to the south. Mostly not a lot, but enough to knock the fruit flowers off our mango trees each year!
Even with climate change it happened last year, we'll see about this year soon?

Thanks Pete, but just a waste of space. The thing is to small to read, only shows one surface chart and does not have any wind barbs or pressure gradients shown.
The synoptic charts used to be supplied from Japan, but it now looks like they may be trying to draw them up themselves.

I’ve noticed the past few days that with some fairly strong winds it’s felt quite cold when you’re not in the sun, especially early in the morning, but today it feels colder still, so it’s back on with a jumper until the sun warms things up later on.
Agreed. It's been so cold from the wind that our doors stay closed, which is very rare. My family in the UK and US think it's hilarious that I'm complaining of being cold with a temperature in the 70's (old money).
They just don't understand!
I'll never complain about this sort of weather, loving it at the moment because it isn't constantly pissing down and it isn't minging hot. This is the best time of year for climate IMO.
