43 celsius in Northern Thailand and Philippines. 41 in #Bangkok for foreseeable future. 30 killed by heat in Bangkok found.
More at risk in PH because of profound poverty.
Uneventfully home from 2.5 weeks visiting family and travelling a bit in Thailand during its hottest time of the year - 40 degrees or over every day up in the North East where we visited Buriram and, at long last, Khon Kaen; high 30s in Bangkok every day. I’m looking forward to jeans and a jacket, once more. Photos will be up soon for wider public consumption - I’ve got a bit of processing to do of the ones from the “nice” camera.
Parched farms, cancelled classes: Extreme heat scorches South-East Asia
"Due to the unbearable heat, the [#Philippines'] Department of Education has allowed #schools to either hold remote lessons or cancel classes altogether.
The country is also in the process of shifting back to a June to March academic calendar, following complaints among students and teachers over holding classes during the peak summer season."
"#Thailand is reeling under the grip of a severe #heatwave with temperatures soaring to record highs in some areas and authorities warned of harsher weather in the coming days.
#Bangkok’s heat index – a measure of how hot it feels like when humidity is taken into account – was listed as above 52 degrees Celsius on Tuesday."

Big rice noodles and marinated seafood with gravy sauce at Rat Na Yot Phak 40 years (but the MBK branch). Delightfully smokey noodle dish and they do not skimp on the seafood and mushrooms!
