    Arrow What was your Max temperature Yesterday with approx location

    me nearest city C Rai 34 Easter Saturday c1630

    Hottest time here in N Chiang Rai is usually not noon but mid afternoon.Hottest months here usually April and May .

    I built my entire home with 22cm thick walls from from Superblock with big eaves, lightboxes, passive cooling intended.Double roof,with vents, insulation and no South facing windows.

    Yesterday outiside around 34 max inside 28
    Having lived in Andalucia at 48 max the other 'comfort' factor is of course the relative humidity and activity level.Dry 40 in Doha easier than 30 in steamy KL etc
    These days my max exertion is a trip to the espresso machine daytime and the corkscrew after dark.

    I do minimal yard work and bike lube walk before 10am
    Despite a few showers much less rain than the last 20 years I have lived in this part of Thailand.

    Of course we don't need exact location but province or nearest metropolis be interesting esp for our overseas members in luscious Lusaka,WA,SA,NSW and Gold Coast.
    lest we forget "Trump said Ukraine started the war"

    perhaps in Uk my metal screens may be called fixed louvers? Common on many commercial bdgs.

    They are like a steel venetian blind coated in white to reflect as much heat and keep it from the walls .I''ll try send pix later, v good 63k baht retro fit
