Unseasonably hot February

Time to schedule annual air conditioner maintenance, clean off fans and get ready for the hot weather.
Looks like it was a short cool season.
Many parts of Thailand are expecting a drought year ahead, some reservoirs are below normal levels according to government announcements.  
Farmers have been advised not to plant a second crop this year. 
Regional leaders are expected to facilitate rainmaking.
To me that translates in more Bun Bang Fai Festivals than in previous years.  
In the last few years the hot season was short lived.

        


The weather isn't the only thing getting hot in Thailand
A crackdown on entertainment venues which offer 'take-out' has been announced to begin Mid February in some major tourist cities.
And there is some pending political tension around the same time
