It started raining last night and what a temperature drop.
Turned off the A/C and finally got a good nights sleep
The 27th, they say is when the sun will be closest to the Earth and should be the hottest day of this year.
So I think this storm came at the right time – last week every day was over 100 and I was ready to move. Damn it was HOT. But then came the rain, temperatures dropped and life became normal again. Well, I hope this is the start of the rainy season.
I did talk to my Nephew, he’s in India right now on business, and it’s about 105 there with no chance of rain – so Chiang Mai is still the best place to live.
P.S. The photo above is a Photoshop enhancement of our house shot last year, I added the lightning – thought it would add some interest.
Ciao
Hey Frank, finally had time to catch up on blogging. Really happy the heat broke, and you have the rain for a while. The weather in Bali is more like what it was when we moved here last August. Although it’s been raining the past few nights for a while, the days have been wonderful. So is there a celebration in Thailand for “Sun closest to the Earth Day”?
Not sure about a “Official” celebration of the closeness of the sun but the rains coming is sure a relief – May 14th is the start of Buddhist Lent and the monks will retire to their Temples for the next 3 months – throughout the rainy season. The weather will be cooler due to the rains and everything will be green – I hope to get some new pictures for my paintings.
