Well, the weather sucks here. It rained every day (both morning and evening) for almost 3 weeks. Then it got really hot again. Now, it's hot and heavy and smoggy. Gotta love Thailand. Overall, I love almost everything about Thailand but I hate the weather - it's too hot and it rains too much during rainy season.
Bangkok also is very bad as far as heat goes. Thai friends who lived in Bangkok 40 years ago tell me that the city has gotten much hotter than it used to be. Scientists say it's because of all the concrete buildings now and concrete sidewalks, which soak up the heat and don't allow the city to cool down, even at night.
A few years ago, Bangkok was named the hottest city in the world (which means it's hotter than anywhere else consistently - some other cities get hotter but they're not as hot all year round like Bangkok is). Now WHY did I choose to live here :-)
