Tuesday’s gland-exploding heat also shattered records for power consumption as everyone and their cat risked hypothermia under maximum-force aircon.
Two weeks after a new record was set in electricity use, the state utility said it was broken again yesterday with 27,139 megawatts burned nationwide.
Although warm weather will continue through today, Bangkok will be dropping degrees like a Khaosan forger as thunderstorms roll into the capital and temperatures fall into the low 30s.
It’s not time to break out the high-compression Patagonia Nano Puffs however, as the Ministry of Energy said it expects more record-breaking moments yet this year, according to Bangkok Post.
Although the first casualty of the heat seems to be everyone’s empathy and social responsibility, minister Twarath Sutabutr appealed for cool, reminding folks that every 1C shaved off the thermostat can save about 10 percent.
