Here is the forcast for the coming weeks in Thailand.
situation unsettled with heavy outbreaks of whistles and
blasts of hot air in bangkok,leading to widespread deafness and
a possible red-shirted front moving down from the north and northeast.
occasional storms in a teacup,with widespread stuff and nonsense leading
to periods of gale force promises. appearance of polar vortex over Nakhon Nowhere
may cool things down a bit.relative humbug 95%.
future outlook,pretty bleak.

Not strange. It didn't change that much in 2006 or 2010. It won'y change that much now.
