It's Cold ! Weather reports in the media.

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

"Yeah the locals all have their jackets/hoodies and beanies on. First time I have worn jeans in a while! Only my second winter so I assumed the high 20s like last year was the norm. Bugger"

Coldest I have had in Temple Town was 18 with a strong wind. Pretty cold if you are on a bike.

hey, I got caught out last year because I was staying away from home and only had shorts and t-shirts with me. And it was actually cold (well, relatively). I haven't worn jeans since, but as you say all the locals do all the time.

It probably was that with the wind chill. I was out birding at 6 am in shorts and a T-shirt. Not too pleasant.

A swallow does not a summer make, just as a cold front is no indication of climate behavior, regardless what the Trump brigade thinks.

The climate has been having drastic changes since its birth. Some a lot more drastic than seen in recent times.

no need to derail this thread with climate change debate

Well said Frank,
It is amazing that one minute we can be discussing the welfare of a fellow expat and then suddenly flip to what make and model of watch he is wearing.
Keep it focused.
Just my thoughts,
Happy new year all.
