(AP Photo/Rajesh Kumar Singh) An extreme and sprawling heat wave has enveloped southeastern Asia since last week, and numerous all-time record high temperatures have fallen, according to AccuWeather meteorologists. A multiweek heat wave impacting southeastern Asia has shattered all-time records, prompted school closures and killed at least 13 people, according to officials. Temperatures in parts of Bangladesh, China, India, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand have been regularly exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) this month. Meanwhile, Thailand set an all-time record high for any time of year.

Popular Post soi3eddie Posted April 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2023 Spoke to my GF in Chonburi today and she was quoting figures of 54c. It seems that the climate brigade have jumped on the "real feel" or "feels like" figure rather than the actual figure. Last week I was in Bangkok when they said it was over 50c but the actual temperature was 38c. Sure it was scorching, but why are they now seizing on the higher figures? What's their agenda on this? 11 1 3 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The poor air quality and fires are likely a contributing cause. Not sure what we are going to do it if gets much hotter. Is Thailand the new Africa? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an agenda, the 'feels like' index is important for people who have to be outside for extended periods of time. It's the same with the other end of the scale where wind chill gives a better idea of how dangerous cold can be. 10 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climate change is not a cult, it's based on evidence and science. The laws of thermodynamics at work, and no-one has ever disproved them. If anything is a cult, it's people on social media with a primary school education, who somehow think they know better than scientists who have spent years of training in their various disciplines. 6 1 3 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post seajae Posted April 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2023 definitely the hottest I have seen in many years, has been way over the forecast temps of 34c, was 41c for several days here and even higher on a couple of occasions.

Popular Post Skeptic7 Posted April 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2023 April/May is historically the hottest month throughout Thailand. There may be some local exceptions, but generally these 2 months are at the top for most/all regions. For whatever the causes, the temps globally are trending up, so no surprise it's hotter this year than last or 5-10-20 years back. This year is also an "El Nino" weather pattern year, which makes for hotter and drier conditions in SE Asia. This an excellent and easy to use sight for climate data, averages, etc for nearly anywhere. Just input a country, province, state or city into the search ????. https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/thailand/bangkok/climate 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasmania is one of the states in Australia, it is not a different country Mainland Australians would argue all Tasmanians can attend a football match on a family ticket. Heat cells are nothing new in Australia, there have been several massive ones in the centre over the past decade. IMO Thailand is simply seeing the first of them.
