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.

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?

 

Grants?

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? 

Try living in OZ

I think @spidermike007 means remote from rest of the world. In SE Asia there are about a dozen countries to visit within 4 hours flying time of Bangkok.  How many countries are within 4 hours of main cities in Australia?

 

Tasmania is one! ????

Remote? Are you kidding me?


Around four out of five Australians lived within 50kms from the coast in 1996 according to the latest estimates from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

You watching to many Crocodile Dundee movies 

I've taken the Indian Pacific from Sydney to Perth.I must say it travelled through a lot of remote areas IMHO. Very good meals were served. I've also taken the rail trip across Canada Halifax NS to Vancouver BC . That trip took 4-5 days as I recall.
