Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

[richard]

Don't mind the heat but the humidity is a killer

[Norseman]

I agree Richard.
Only 32 C degrees but the extreme humidity makes it feel like closer to 38 or 40 degrees.
A very hot day indeed.

I wouldn't know, I can't read my thermometer due to my eyes burning with perspiration running in them.

I sincerely think humans were not intended to live in this climate... it's much better suited to reptiles and insects.

Official forecast (from inside my ice chamber...)

Daytime: sunny and hot. Nighttime: dark and hot.

BTW: Where's the afternoon rains we usually get this time of year. I think Hua Hin is entering a serious drought condition as the water company is turning off the tap during certain hours each day... not a problem for me with two 4000 liter storage tanks, but I'm seeing a lot of water truck activity up and down my road lately so I think some folks are running out.

Oops! I just looked out the window and there are some big black ominous clouds headed this way from the other side of the mountains to the west.

[Johanna]

It is indeed a bit dark at the moment.
I have the lights on in the house already.
Quick brought the laundry inside.

[hhfarang]

It was a thunderstorm but it turned north before it reached my area and the skies are sunny again. Hopefully, you who live in the north of town got some cooling showers.

Appreciate any further updates this week. Two weeks in a bar is the worst case then!

Don't worry about it. If you're staying in Hua Hin you may experience some short, delightful showers, and then full sun again. The chance of rain in Hua Hin has now fizzled to 20% for the next 7 days. Pete

Be there soon!
