Waning Heat of Summer


To my delight, the temperature moderated over the summer because of the rains, not at all unpleasant, crackling thunderstorms that might appear at any time, dawn, mid-day, most often in the late afternoon, everyone scurrying for shelter where girls had plenty of time to give you a lookover, then the black clouds would open and the dazzle would come back.

I downloaded the daily high temps for the year so far(blue), superimposed them on a speciment year fro the past (red) and it became clear that thought the sun was still hovering around in the middle of the sky, the cooling bath of rains was causing the temp to drop over the summer months. For that matter, it appeared that if you hated heat, the time to avoid in Bangkok was March through June.
