Temperature

Upon arriving in Thailand, one of the first things I noticed was how people were wearing jackets or long sleeves at night. “Absurd”, I thought. “How could anyone be cold in this delightfully warm, tropical weather?”

Then after having been there a few weeks and after having acclimated to the heat, I, myself, began to reconsider my stance on jackets at night. As it turns out, it can get quite chilly at night; doubly so if you’re on a bike after the sun goes down.

Having been home for six months, I can assure you that I’m still quite acclimated to warm weather. This is quite troublesome if you live somewhere like WV where the warmest temperatures we’ve seen this summer have been only in the high-20s C (mid-80s F). Though normally the average mid-day WV temperature approaches the average morning Thailand temperature. This means that it can be rather uncomfortable — nay, downright cold — at times. It will only get worse as summer ends, too. And I’m ignoring thoughts of winter altogether.
