The Heat!

[321niti123]

Did anyone notice that the heat is a lot worse today?

I feel like I'm dying, its the first I've had to turn in the fan to #3 (the highest/fastest) and Thai Visa toolbar tells me its 37 but it feels atleast 40 in the middle of the day. Anyone has any idea whats going on? Is it a heat wave or something, cuz i was really hoping for some cooler weather with the rainy season starting.

Rainy season in May ? This is new to me.

[humpty]

it's way too hot, seems to be for Thais and foreigners alike.  I don't think it's ever been this hot, hopefully it will pass soon, for everyone's sake.

i think yesterday-----sun 9th ------and today seem hotter. had to increase beer intake by 1.36 pints per day to allow for extra sweating where an i claim extra cost from please i tried immigration but they pretended not to understand

[ironhut]

Yep...thought I was kind of used to this after a few years. But have sweat the past few days as if I just got off the plane from a cool climate.

My barometer is the Thais...if they are sweating, then I know it's hot. I've seen the Thais sweat today and yesterday like never before.

I am ready for some rain.

You are correct, but there is nothing funny about it.

And it will only get hotter in the future.

Something tells me that will not be good for tourism, farming, etc.

[321niti123]

It's definitely hotter today than it has been most of this year. BTW...it did rain a few days ago>>lots of rain so i was hoping that was the sign of the beginning of the rainy season.

[JSixpack]

Maybe it's time to turn on the air conditioner.

I did, no problem w/ the heat here.

[samuibeachcomber]

Like most here replying i find it hotter and more humid this year than last.On Samui its been in the late 30's everyday almost and no rain.Its put me off travelling around as its too hot to be enjoyable during the day.Looking at temps in chiang mai/rai mae hing son,all up in the 40's.Can anyone up north tell me when or if it does get cooler there as would like to travel.At the moment i feel left with only nov/dec.

Everyone am sure is hoping for some rain soon.

I pretty much haven't turned the aircon off since the hot season began. And yeah, today was really bad outside, one of the worst I've seen, but just fine inside with air.
