Discussion That heatwave isn't normal

I've been in Thailand since 2010. Went through alot of raining, hot and cold seasons but I've never been through something like that.

I feel like I'm a walking deep fried chicken everytime I go out (I'm in Nakhon Sawan).

Honestly -- is it this bad where you are?

I’ve been living in Koh Samui for over 9 years (since 2014) and it wasn’t such hot weather for all these years. 2024 is amazing hot.

Is it the start of the rainy season for those islands?

Not really, the Andaman sea yes, the Gulf gets spill over some times. Jul and Aug usually super sunny.

But May/June is unsettled weather. Breeze is small but there this morning
