After today's extreme heat temperatures should ease slowly over the coming days

Continue watering your garden for a few more days. There is only a slight chance of scattered showers early this afternoon, so don’t count on Mother Nature just yet.

The forecast looks more promising beginning next week, with rain chances increasing noticeably.

In the meantime, the humidity is making it feel far hotter than the thermometer suggests. While actual temperatures may reach around 36°C today , it could feel like 44–46°C in the sun.

If you haven’t already, this is a good time to try the DRY MODE setting on your air conditioner. It costs less to run than normal cooling mode because it mainly removes moisture from the air rather than aggressively lowering the temperature. Often, reducing the humidity is all it takes to make the house feel much more comfortable.

Drought Concerns Return to SakonNakhon

The year 2020 was widely documented as one of Thailand’s worst drought years in more than four decades. Unfortunately, signs are emerging that we may once again be heading toward a prolonged period of water shortages.

Rainfall so far this year has been disappointing, and the arrival of El Niño is expected to reduce rainfall even further during the coming months and into next year. While no one can predict exactly how severe conditions will become, many experts believe the effects could become noticeable within weeks.


In June 2020, this reservoir near Nong Sa, Lao Po Daeng, showed just how quickly water levels can fall when rainfall remains below normal.

      
Climate agencies, including Thailand’s Office of National Water Resources and GISTDA (Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency), have warned that drought conditions associated with strong El Niño patterns can persist for several years.

For farmers in Sakon Nakhon, water is everything. Rice fields, livestock, and household supplies all depend heavily on reservoir storage. 

As the dry season progresses, reservoir levels may once again become daily news, closely watched by both farmers and residents alike.
