Yep. The hot season started a bit late, the winds were still predominantly NW but I think the seasons have changed. Pollution will decrease and heat will increase, actuallty already has. Last 3 days have been very hot. Pretty much all of next week is going to be hot. 

You are right it was a late start this year to the hot season, you know when it is here, when the wind comes from the south, which they have for some time now but this year they are also coming from the SW, which for us is almost a first time, as for coming from the NW never not around here  Lopburi, nor will it be until the rains comes.

"extended period of hot weather relative to the expected conditions"
yes it is the hottest season so it is expected
