Looks like a photo from the future Sukhumvit bypass tunnels. LOL

Got a nice wetting on Nern Pub Wan east of the railway bypass road. Maybe rained for an hour. Temps dropped 8 degrees from this morning's 33. Lovely. Haven't had the air con on in 3-4 hours.

Soi Wat Nong Yai, that is on the other side of Sukhumvit from Bangkok Pattaya hospital. about 5 PM.

[Turkleton]

Neurn Plub Wan, near Wat Suttawas:

Not even enough rain to water my garden...

[tropo]

The drains must have been clogged from so many months of no rain. It didn't rain for long at Cosy Beach. 15 minutes at most. Just long enough to get into a fight with the neighbour who decided she wanted to block my drainage channel with a sandbag. I moved it and then she moved it back again. LOLOL.

A light sprinkling here in Na Jomtien / Bang Saray

Temperature did drop last night so no A/C needed but the lawn and garden are still brown

[anto]

[i claudius]

The minimum dropped 1°C from 29 °C to 28 °C, so no A/C. LOL. I wish I had your tolerance for heat, but for me it remains A/C all the way. They do say that for every degree you raise the thermostat saves 4 - 5% electricity, so at least it will cost less if the outside temperature is a degree lower.

I don't know where you obtained your figures from but my weather station, in Fahrenheit, showed a drop from 92 , before the rain to 78 after the "sprinkling". By the time we went to bed it had gone back up to 86
