[sherwood]

The wife blacked out cutting grass for the buffalos today and was a bit crook for half the day.

I will give her half pay for the story.

Very hot near Korat.

Its a lot higher then that. Neighbour died last night sitting in his bamboo hut with just a little  fan at 44 Celsius.

 

The tin roofs on these huts turn the insides into ovens during the hot season .. they are much cooler when roofed with

the traditional leaf roofing

Temperatures have not increased and are in the normal range of highs for this time of year.

 

Yes, in fact the hottest April I have known was 2014… At the time there was no global warming propaganda…

FFS,  30 people have died in Thailand because of sun stroke,   FFS we all know we're going to die,  seriously?

How many people died last year, or the year before? Did you bother to look. More than likely it’s just a normal year. But hey, that’s just the numbers… never mind those. Much better to get hysterical feelings involved.

Seem to remember reading that a metal roof painted in a light colour is cooler than a tiled roof? Don't know anyone with a metal roof that isn't rust coloured so can't test. However, I know how hot our tiled roof is. Unbearably.

The PVC roof panels need to have insulation. Cement and ceramic tiles roof tiles are extremely hot I have them on my gym and I cannot even walk in there when it's 30 Celsius.
