| El Nino! Dry Monsoon Season? | ||||
|
|
Thailand is expected to experience drought more seriously in 2010 as a consequence of the El Niño phenomenon. It is stated that the El Niño would cause lower rainfall from the rainy season in 2009 until summer this year and higher temperatures from December 2009 until June 2010 across the Kingdom. A period of unusually dry weather is therefore expected this year. What this means in real terms is apart from it is hotter right now than we have known for a long time but the rains that should start to fall from May looks as if they wil not arrive. Bad news for the forests but good news for those of you that have booked to ride a motorbike tour with us during June and July which can usually be a very wet period. Don't get carried away though and forget to pack your wet gear! |
"I was on a dual terrain trip and had a fantastic time! The tour leader did a great job of gauging our abilities (which thankfully improved whilst we were there) and adjusting the route accordingly. In fact there was a sense of 'let's go this way, it looks fun' which I approve of. Neill Gilhooley (Toured with Simon Baker 2009)
