All very well to say it is hot but how does it compare to 10-20 years ago?

No different, actually better for us, as we lived in Udon Thani then, and consistently hotter up there than PKK.  Past 7 yrs here, thanks to El Nino and Global Warming, it seems cooler than 7-6-5 yrs ago.

 

Loving this Global Warming ...   Well, not today, as brutal out there, though a few degrees less than yesterday.  It is that time of year, every year.  2 months of W T F

A big change in my neck of the woods, as far as I can see....today we're at 42 degrees a year ago it was 37. Ten years ago it was 36.

Definitely the hottest March/April since I have been here...

My PC's temperature notification says the same thing....... 🥵

Wow, finally a respite to the hot weather. 

 

A passing bit if rain in Korat (Non Thai District go be precise) 

 

Temp is down to 29 degrees and it's bloody lovely.  Hope it stays for a bit longer or humidity could become unbearable.  Enjoying it while it lasts. 

 

Woo who!
