Re: Weather in Udon ?
tamada may be correct with his divination, and that can be shown in my personal weather report below.
But, since climate change has been, in most educated reading, shown to be false Udon should now return to normal and the real rain won’t return till after the extreme heat of songkran mid April. I certainly don’t forget how bloody hot it gets just before the rain comes.

Re: Weather in Udon ?
so.. what happenened to those 150-170 AQI's the last few days?? It was Green on the AQI site this morning with a light breeze blowing.. Expanding the AQI map showed all of Issan with a few exceptions under 50 AQI with lots of green areas... https://aqicn.org/map/udon-thani/ The air pressure was still high, the wind about the same but evidently the brakes were put on burning.. Could it be the Chinese New Year festivities??? Guess we'll see in the next few days if the burning recommences...

Re: Weather in Udon ?
and.... back to the high AQI's again.. high yesterday morning dropping into yellow and green in the afternoon. This morning 150-'s plus and now scattered 70's to 150's in the greater Udon area. Sure would like a straight analysis of exactly why we had 3-4 days of clean air and now back to filth... If the pollution was "man-stopped" then that tells us the breakes could be put on it permanently.. Since the temps, the winds, the air pressure were all pretty much the same as before the short period of claen air then I don't know what else it could be..

Thermometer recorded our first 34 centigrade day this year. Looks like cool season coming to an end
Re: Weather in Udon ?
Today was a tad hot.
Tomorrow will be a tad hotter.
Neighbor across the street bit the bullet and had an air conditioner installed this afternoon.

Re: Weather in Udon ?
Okay so no rain for a few days and as usual this time of year, burning of all and sundry occurring , yet people in some cases especially foreigners complaining asbout the Air Quality, well MOVE.
Simple solution, then you realise that yopu have decided to live in a country where enforcement of anything is hit and miss. Waste removal is reasonably good and fairly cheap , but for some even that is too much.
Then we come to the temperature, hot , well I can say last year it was the hottest for over one or two weeks , but I accepted that . Open windows and use fans, makes it bearable, if you need to have Air -con on 24/7, you are living in the wrong country, remember it is not the heay that is bad, it is the HUMIDITY that makes heat unbearable .

Re: Weather in Udon ?
I've lived in my house here in Udon for 10 years now and in Thailand/Laos for another 14 total. I've no intention of moving. My solution to the AQI issues on bad days is to wear my N95 outside and to run my air cleaners inside.. So, I'll continue to complain about the burning which affects a helluva lot more people than me that don't have the wherewithal to protect themselves.. I still haven't seen any answer to the truly amazing 3 days of almost zero burning during the Chinese New Year festivities giving us AQI's in the 20's or better..

Re: Weather in Udon ?
On that note, most major conurbations around the world have bad AQI ,here it is mainly caused by burning and some traffic, elsewhere it is all about Traffic and industrial pollutants .
The burning here is irritating but nowhere near as bad as lets us say for example Bangkok , where after a couple of days your throat hurts etc.

Re: Weather in Udon ?
How good is the weather in Udon this morning. Really great to live and appreciate it in the here and now by getting out and about early. Huge amount of carpenter bees, bird life and butterfly activity in the yard.
It’s a little bit sad that some individuals must miss out and have to comment about great local conditions from afar.
Enjoy the outside as much as possible now as the changes are happening. Should hopefully be wet this weekend. Then the hot stuff will descend.

Just sitting out the front listening to the rain slowly slowly come down the road. Thought it was a truck coming.
Great sound and now the wind.
Gotta love it here.
