The chart shows the heat building in comparison to 1983, a record El Nino year. I predict the break this year at about April 20, a few days after Songran.

Swelters, your last five posts have included two about the weather, one about airconditioning and one about a preponderance of mosquitos for the time of year. And they all have sexy graphs.

Given your name, I'm confused.

Ahhhh, Bendix. I can always count on you to sort through the muck and pull out the pearl.

Thanks for today's smile.

Swelters is to meteorology what Topfield is to finance ...

... and it is farkin hot here at the moment

I keep seeing 41/2 reported for Bkk..

hot hot hot

yes, it's hot, very hot ... hey, try Belgium for a while ... give me hot, better then cold, gray and wet !!

It's been raining here in Roi-et (Phontong District, at least) for the past three hours. This has helped to break the heat for the time being. Believe me, during the day and well into the evening, for 20 days or so, it's been like an oven outside. I've had the air-conditioning on every night; I normally don't need it. The last time I experienced "ovenish" daytime heat --even remotely comparable to this-- was when I was working in Dhahran (I mean, during the 3-4 hot months. The remaining months there had very pleasant temperatures.).

Yes, but isn't great to see the blue skies and feel the swirling breezes.

You understand why foreigners love living in Thailand. (aka Siam).
