We definitely have the "hot weather" here, West of UT, waiting for the thunderstorms and more importantly some rain! ????

Most Thai farmers - and long-term resident farang expats - know the weather as good or better than the TMD "experts". Oh let's see - it's getting to late April, so it's gonna be hot, and when the humidity starts to peak out and people start getting irritable and those meng mao flying termites start to swarm at night... guess what? Rains perhaps? "Summer storms" and soon an end to repeat arsonist fires as we lead into irrigation of fields and planting season. Oh and that Fking Asian Koel (Nok Ga-wow) will finally S T F U for another 6 months.
