Hot or what?

[Yooyung]

Is it just me...or has the hot season outstayed its welcome???? I live in the Pathumtani area and the temperatures have been very high 30's and into the 40's for a long time now. I've lived here over a decade now and am wondering....is it getting hotter, or did the cool season lull me into forgetting how hot it gets? How is it where you are? Whens the bl**dy rain gonna come?

At 13:00 it was 34.5 according the weather bureau website. With a 30% chance of rain today. http://www.tmd.go.th/en/province.php?id=19

Maybe.....it just seems hotter...for longer. The other day it got down to about 33 degrees here and it felt like heavan!

[Stan42]

Yes. It really IS unusually hot for this time of the year. When I go outside it's like I'm not getting a suntan but third degree burns. My electricity bill went up an extra 1'500thb and the aircon isn't really helping much.

It is the combination of heat and discomfort that produces discomfort. It mat rain the night before, cooling everything down, but when the sun starts to evaporate all that moisture, that's when you may7 even feel unwell. The Thais certainly don't like it, I have only respect for the son in law that is preparing for the rice sowing..

This is the price we pay for the coolest winter in years.

It was a good un...Its June already!! I keep thinking its still May! I guess that's because normally the rains would have started a more consistently a few weeks back. Haven't had too much of it, not many overcast days either.

Dunno mate. It looks like its threatening to rain....and then nothing! Its pretty hot here again today, says its 37 degrees but I think that's being conservative....

It's raining in Ubon and a decent chance of rain all this week! Please tell me that's a sign of things to come in Jomtien?????

[ubonjoe]

It looks the same for Pattaya http://www.tmd.go.th/en/province.php?StationNumber=48461

So 31 degrees is too hot for you (temp in Jomtein). ....then you're definitely in the wrong place!

Stay inside and turn on your air condition

[Yooyung]

Send some this way. I only have air in the bedroom...I suffer through it during the day. It makes those afternoon showers all the sweeter.

[Sayonarax]

Its called climate change not climate redundancy.

[balo]

Yes, its been very hot here in Pattaya and no rain for weeks. So didnt expect that .

Anyway it's time for me to leave soon for my Scandinavian vacation and the summer just starting up there, looking for ward to experience a fresh breeze and 22 degrees celsius. And no pollution compared with Thailand, no littering in the streets .

But it comes with a price, and I'm on a budget so only 3 weeks and I'll be back

Shove it! We are just trying to have a good time here.

It is the combination of heat and discomfort that produces discomfort.

Don't really even need the heat, do ya?

I'm assuming you meant heat and humidity?

Based on the tmd.go.th site, it looks like there will be no respite in BKK this week... And it's been miserable for way too long this year.

Im in the south...been averaging around 35 for weeks, but this last week we have rain in the evening, or a storm mid afternoon....

Right now (just had storm), it's about 27 degrees....But the humidity knocks you around during the day. Especially if you are getting on in years...

[pigeonjake]

Sorry! I didn't realise you were just looking for a chat & forgive me for providing a link which answered your question

(recorded 51 last week here, but only 10% humidity, in the shade, 48 & 30% humidity today, not even summer yet, can we switch places?)

This was about a week ago, at 8.30am east of Pattaya, under a covered patio.
