I just happened to glance at my Max Min thermometer this afternoon, it was reading 100 F ...crazy.gifsome one can translate that to C !

That's 2 degrees hotter than anytime in at least the last two years...at my house at least .... and that is usually April when it get's too hot to bare...wink.png

Fortunately the humidity is only around 40% so makes a little more comfortable, but hot all the same!

No wonder my spelling has gone off ... Nanthon ...... I mean Nathon.... biggrin.png

Probably a warning needed for those not used to the sun to take extra precautions with extra sunscreen....

white turns red very fast! & Sun burn is no fun! sad.png

It's a very pleasant 28oC here in Chiang Mai ( translated to 82oF for those who haven't caught up yet)

That's 37.8 Jimmy. Yep - my Thai thermometer read 37 this afternoon.

It's been a tad warm lately - mind you, strong winds from the west up here on the hill. The plants are suffering. sad.png

The only time I can handle thailand heat is november-february.

but a nice, strong wind from the West at the beaches. Just stay on the beach, and enjoy the scenery, we live on an island

The west winds have been good for kite surfers, for sure, around Nathon, at least (did I get that spelling , write this time?) biggrin.pngwink.png

Yes, lots of drooping leaves on some plants sad.png ..... Pot plants will be suffering the most, keep them watered...wink.png

A good rain would be nice... as long as not as much as the Philippines whistling.gif

26 C at the moment, that is pleasant.... (100 F sounds more dramatic!) biggrin.png

That is April Temperatures Jimmy. I have been back in BKK for a bit over a week now and it has been pleasantly warm , i guess around 30 degrees but a lot of cloud cover.

Pizza hut like it Hot Hot Hot!!!

We never got that warm in April this year... Global warming??? 30 c in BKK would be OK!

What makes it more bearable is the humidity is not too bad here..... right now! thumbsup.gif
