It's rather warm isn't it?

[pinklaopanther]

This is pretty damn hot for the beginning of March or am I just being a wuss?

[chickenslegs]

Yes.

[pinklaopanther]

According to my app on I phone it's going to be 38C in Chiang Rai tomorrow, and for the first time in my 7 years living her my Thai wife actually said to me.. "It's too hot, let's go home' now hat says to me that it's gonna get freaking hot this week.

[berybert]

And here I am looking at the rain falling.

[i claudius]

No it doesnt seem over hot ,our air con bill is down

[Costas2008]

It is bloody hot.

The air-condition is working full time.

I had it good for the past 3 months with the electricity bill.

I dread to see how much it will be at the end of this month if the weather carries on as hot as now.

[KhunBENQ]

Day temperature in Isan (Khon Kaen) topped 37 C yesterday.

Thats not really "moderate"

Drove to Pattaya to cool down, a chilly 31 or so.

Just starts to rain!!!

37 C ~ 98 F

31 C ~ 88 F

What always gets me is the short time it takes from cool weather (in Isan) to hot temperatures.

No "spring" in Thailand.

No aircon on from Nov to mid last week.

Then within two days or so temperatures skyrocket.

In eastern Thailand, the cool/dry season ended sooner than usual - hot&humid now, and we had a severe thunder storm too.

[beachproperty]

Guess it depends on where you are. Here in Rayong, on the beach, its nice.....cool sea breezes although raining right now, still nice

The Thailand climate is controlled by tropical monsoons and the weather in Thailand is generally hot and humid across most of the country throughout most of the year. While Thailand’s seasons are generally divided into the hot season, cool season, and rainy season, in reality it’s relatively hot most of the year. The weather in central, northern, and northeastern Thailand (the landlocked provinces) is determined by three seasons, whereas the southern, coastal regions of Thailand feature only two, making the weather in Thailand quite easy to understand and plan a trip around.In Thailand’s inland provinces the seasons are clearly defined: Between November and May the weather is mostly dry and the cool season and hot season occur from November to February and March to May respectively. The other inland season, the rainy season, lasts from May to November and is dominated by the southwest monsoon, during which time rainfall in most of Thailand is at its heaviest.

I can survive the heat but it's the humidity that gets me. Partly my fault for living in Bangkok.

[Jip99]

[LuckyLew]

Do not care about the temperature ... it is the fricken humidity that gets me

[smokie36]

A more realistic reading might be with the thermometer out of direct sunlight! Or is that shadow from a light bulb?

Not really..... because I was sitting in direct sunlight and it was bl00dy hot!!

There was intermittent cloud at the time (should you REALLY feel the need for a detailed forecast) and - no - I didn't need any lights on

(Later when the sun moved round the temperature plummeted to 36 degrees).

Agree.

As an ex wildland firefighter who's duty was to do hourly weather reports from the field...

Temperature officially is always taken 3 feet above the ground ( guess a meter would do ) and always in a well shaded area.

[phoenixdoglover]

Yes, and yes. Yesterday in Khon Kaen...40 on the truck's thermometer.

[chiang mai]

Four days ago we were advised this is NOT the hot season, I can hardly wait for what's comming!

[Rancid]

Eat some Vegemite, it builds heat tolerance & stamina & manliness to boot.

[marko kok prong]

Yesterday it got to39c in Kok prong,then the mother of all storms came through,dropping it to 25c or so,this is the tropics guys,expect it,better though than the 55c i worked in ,but this is Australia.

[Smurkster]

have been in Khon Kaen and Vientiane the last few days and have thought the same thing...the season is creeping in

[marko kok prong]

Mad dog weather.

[Xircal]

Please export to the Netherlands ("dinsdag overdag" means Tuesday during the daytime).

After Seoul last November I refuse to complain about heat in Thailand - their Winter would kill me stone dead, and for the first time I had some tiny inkling of what it must have been like for the troops who fought there. Pattaya was magnificent today - big downpour followed by a very mild afternoon - hoping for more but anything that isnt sub-zero is alright by me.

[Jessi]

Its been hotter than a bar girls P ussy

But not so wet...

[marko kok prong]

Just hope we get a good wet season this year,last year was okay for average total,but it tended to come in massive bursts,which a lot of which ran off the parched soil.
