Bangkok, Thailand
Friday 17 November 2023
Good afternoon,
On waking up this morning, I could feel a nice fresh cooler air. Shortly later, when I got up and stepped outside at the balcony, the bright blue sky with white fluffy clouds and rather strong breeze helped confirm my good feeling that winter did arrive here already.
In fact, the temperature this morning was just 26 degree C which is not considered cold at all for those who live in many other countries. But for people in tropical countries like I, particularly in Bangkok, Thailand, we have been stuck in hot and very hot air all year round over the past decades. The average temperature of 28-37 degree C is not uncommon. Sometimes it could go up to 39-40. Thus, just a slight decrease of temperature means a lot here.
At this level of temperature, we need no winter clothes such as thick sweater, wool jacket, knitted wool hat and hand gloves to keep warm. Only sick persons, little kids and very old persons might require some more clothes to make them feel comfortable under a little lower temperature. Others who prepared to show off their winter clothes this year might have to be disappointed. But this issue can be solved easily--they just have to travel to the mountainous areas in the north or the northeast to enjoy a real cool air at around 16-20 degree C.
Looking up at the sky above, I just want to thank Mother Nature for her kindness to us living creatures.
