Chiangmai is really hot..wonder when the cool season starts..it's already November....

The Thai woman at Bagel House just told me the same thing.

It's hot all over Thailand. A mate in Bangkok told me he couldn't even walk outside yesterday.

Cool season still a month or so away at a guess.

It is defiantly cooler now. Not as cool as usual for November but a lot cooler than it has been. The humidity is not helping any thing.

Loy Katoey is very early this year. That makes it seem later than it is.

34.3 is considered "cooler than usual" in what book?

Heavy rain in Mae Rim last night. I'd say another round of storms will come through before the air cools.

Here's a clue:

Greenhouse gas at highest levels in 800,000 years, UN says

Katoeys do have a way of influencing the weather.

Loy Katoey is very early this year. That makes it seem later than it is.

there were major solar flares more than a week ago, they finally arrived to earth.

seriously.

It is defiantly cooler now.

Alas, the cool here always yields to the hot and is never defiant.

It is humid too as the rainy season does not want to end. Check out the 10 day forecast from Wunderground:

Is this a fair example of a 'Loy Katoey':

Hmmm I sincerly hope that photo wasnt taken in your bathroom.....whatever rocks your boat I suppose. No offence intended ....

Must admit I though mid October that our cool season was in.

But no, quite warm during the day, still need my air con and last night seem warm compared with nights of last week.

Unbearable but totally normal.Thunderstorms are expected early next week ,front coming down from China.Give it a week or 3 and hopefully the wet season will kick in.

Mate of mine very sick today.Its not smart to drink a lot of alcohol right now as it just dehydrates you even further. Easy fix .....drink a lot more water.

Water doesn't quite "hit the spot"

Rain coming mid next week. Temperatures down 5+ degrees.

According to the Thai Meteorology website, the temperature hit 42.76 C or 109 degrees F. That is indeed hot.

37 C outside in the shade at the Smith residence, San Kamphaeng rice fields. Reliable thermometer.

According to this chart from the Thai Meteorological Dept. today's high in Chiang Mai was 37.5.
