Two day warm wave ends with Sprinkles

Got quite warm shortly after lunch yesterday, enough to keep a few indoor fans humming.
Overnight temperatures were quite pleasant.  Another fairly warm day in store today.
A good day to air out blankets, cause they'll have continued use later on this week.


  • noticeable Cooling 
  • Cloudy at times with the possibility of a DRIZZLE
      over the weekend

Forecasts anticipate that the Baht value will accelerate in 2015. 
For the moment it's worth watching the effect of the drop of oil prices, the strengthening of the US dollar and the uncertain EU market.
