Rain

We had rain for about half an hour today. This is only the second time in a few months. Don't worry though, we'll more than make up for it in a few months during the rainy season.

Thailand has three seasons. Right now we are experiencing summer. Summer in Thailand goes from March through June. Its very hot here in the summer with occasional rain. It is mostly dry though.

The rainy season begins in July and lasts through October. As you might guess by the name, it rains quite a bit during the rainy season. Sometimes you might get a proper storm, while others you might get a shower for twenty or thirty minutes. Its pretty hot and humid during the rainy season.

Winter in Thailand begins in November and goes through February. In Bangkok, winter means high temperatures in the mid to upper eighties (as opposed to mid to upper nineties). This past year I don't think it rained at all during the winter.

Winter is by far my favorite season. Its often cool enough to comfortably be outside, but warm enough to swim. During winter I usually don't feel like I need to change my shirt after walking outside for ten minutes.

Well here in Cincinnati most of us don't feel the need to change our shirts after being outside during winter.
