Seems some here missed my main point as mentioned at my beginning, i had been recording readings each day for weeks of temps twixed 40c and 41c, TV weather were showing 36 / 38c thus i'm calling bullshit to avoid global warming alarms, i moved here loooong ago and loved it but this is shit stuff to live with at this moment in time , my 19 month old daughter had to visit a clinic for respiratory probs and guess what ! we had to sit with about 8 other nippers to use a machine breathing mask, did this daily for a week and she is now ok, but for how long ?? so the odd nanny by the seaside wont have a clue as to live with temps such as this, mini rant over.

This has been like this for weeks upon end ! and reports via media say lower temps, HOG WASH.

Welcome to hot season here. Its only going to get worse. Last year not much of a hot season, looks like its payback time this year. Very sad but also very true.. Worse if your stupid like me and try to make a 4 layer lasagna today.. lol...

40-41 where I am, and absolutely brutal.

 

Even at 8-9 PM, too hot to go outside.

The lagoon pool at the condo is lovely. Between that and the condo aircon, no problem.

A bit cooler in Patts today. I've just nipped in and put a T-shirt on. Might pop in and have a beer with Joy later. No, sod that, even in this heat she never has the air con on, like a sauna in there. Have a word, will ya?

I bet you complained about the weather in your home country too. I think it's the heat that puts the word tropical into tropical paradise.!  ????

I wonder could the new Government do something about it ???

YEH !! Nigel farage the populists Mr fix it . Tommy robinson back door ass kicker and rees mog chief egg whip. ????  SORTED !

I enjoy this weather when in doors as the house is at least 10 degrees cooler than it is outside.

 

What I don't like is the Thai guy who has been tiling two of our 3 bathrooms, coming in and out and leaving the front door open for the hot air to come in when he goes outside to cut some of the tiles or mix up the cement/glue, at least he closes the fly/mozzie screen door, but will be so happy when he leaves after the job is done, a day, two, max at his snail pace I hope, then I won't have to get up every time he goes out or comes in to close the door, you'd think the penny would have dropped by now, but then again, I suppose the lao khao has probably popped a fair few brain cells over the many years he has been drinking it, or he is just as thick as a brick as we say.

 

It pays to have good ceiling height, sissolation, insulation, whirly birds and proper ventilation under the front gable/s of the house and under the eves, also additional roof cover at the front, side and rear of the house so the sun don't touch the rendered brick walls, also helps keep it cool, cool, cool

Hope your daughter is feeling better, from my experience here, paying for private cover gets the kids and us serviced in a private hospital real quick, no or very little wait time.

Good actor in his day the old boy.

 

As for the tag, one of my mates many years ago said I had a big ego when I purchased a 1974 Silver Shadow Rolls Royce back, so I went to the motor registry and ordered an appropriate number plate, hence the tag name ????

Living in a seaside town, ....31-32 are typical this time of year 

It always baffles me why ppl choose to live a million miles away from the ocean (or in BKK)

The only reason I will entertain is 'work related' reasons.

Lots of us choose Isaan for its vast open vistas and farmer culture, but never was it ever as hot as its been here in my 15 years, last day or so has been cooler but we are getting smog haze coming down from CM and its regions.  and i wake up this morning to the inevitable news that isaan folks predicted DESPITE voting en mass.
