Regional heat agony today

This dreadful day I made the mistake of getting my girlfriend to accompany me to Klongtoei, where I wanted to idle away the afternoon browsing machine shops.

My idea of a date.

After almost fainting in the heat (both of us) they we took refuge in the huge Lotus, collapsing on a wood bench from which we could listen to American country music and watch a Charlie Chaplin VCD and eat a McDonalds ice cream cone. My numb mind filled with happiness at the cold air.

Is there any hiding from it? See for yourself, here are the 1 pm temps all over SE Asia on what must be the hottest day yet this year. The folks in Udorn have my heartfelt sympathy.
