So how hot is it in Thailand?

If you are back home then you probably look at the map and say that it must be pretty hot in Thailand right now. You see that it is the middle of summer in DC, so you may think the middle of summer in Thailand is much worse. But reality may surprise you.

Fact 1: Our hottest months of the year are behind us. March, April, May are the hot months. April can get pretty darn hot, but it never got that bad this year. I'm not sure if it even got over 95 degrees.

Fact 2: Your high temperature for the day is much higher than ours today. According to Google, your predicted high temperature is 97 degrees today. Ours is 88 degrees. (Yes I converted everything to Fahrenheit.)

Fact 3: We have three seasons. If you talk to me enough, you would know this. Tropical climates like Thailand have three seasons: hot, rainy, and cool. To give you an idea of what each is like.

• Hot season. Imagine August in DC. But with a lot less humidity. March-June
• Rainy season. The rainiest single summer month you can remember in your life. July-October
• Cool season. Remember a day in July when it got UNUSUALLY cool for July. It's basically like that. Except less humidity. And no rain EVER. November-February

Right now it has been pretty nice out. A few days are steamy, but most of the time I am turning off the air conditioning and just using fans. It's a nice time of year.
