A long hot summer ahead

The snowbirds are heading home (farewell gerefan2). But for those who remain it's looking like a long hot summer. "Tomorrow is officially the first day of the 'summer' season per the Thai Meteorological Department — and it’s going to be at least a couple degrees hotter than last year.

"Speaking at a press conference over the weekend, Phuwieng Phrakhammintara, director-general of the Meteorological Department, said that the country’s Northeastern, Central and Eastern regions will reach about 40 degrees Celsius (104 degree Fahrenheit) during the day, reported Workpoint. The temperature will be highest in the following seven provinces: Mae Hong Son, Lampang, Uttaradit, Sukhothai, Tak, Nakhon Sawan and Kanchanaburi, which may reach up to 43 degrees (about 109.5 fahrenheit).

"Meanwhile in the south, temperatures will climb to about 39 degrees celsius (102 fahrenheit). This summer will be, on average, about 1-2 degree celsius hotter than last year, according to the Meteorological Department."
