High of 36c in Saigon today. Pretty hot but after having visited Singapore and Thailand this time of year seeing temps over 41c I cant complain.

Very hot over here in HCMC too (35). If I were made of wax I wouldn鈥檛 stand a chance.

High temperatures in the Tropics is hardly surprising, especially during the yearly Hot Season.

Anyway, it's one of the main reasons I'm here. I love to sweat and thrive in the heat.

Everyone needs to make sure they stay hydrated though.

Currently enjoying a cool sinh t峄� b啤 and the evening breeze along the Mekong River, so actually feeling a little chilly at the moment.

I think they've changed the trigger zone.

32掳c isn't so extreme, but "feels like" 40掳 is

Hot sunny days are one of the reasons I鈥檓 here too. I鈥檝e been here for 10 years and have no plans to return to Michigan. -26 is just not my thing.

That being said 35 is unusually hot even here in the tropics

Agreed, 32C really isn't so very hot. Even Ottawa sees multi-day runs of 32C+ in the summer.

Might the seemingly low 32C triggering a heat alert be due to the intensity of the sun's rays here in the tropics?

I'm thinking that since temperatures are recorded outdoors in the shade, 32C is 32C, regardless of where in the world it is recorded. But here, in direct sunlight, I've little doubt that the hood of a black car would feel much hotter than it would in northern climes, with both reporting a 32C reading.

What with the prevalence of corrugated metal roofs, the interior of many homes would likely get dangerously, shall we say, toasty. Likewise, the interior/core-temperature of any outdoor labourers馃槗.

There are days where locals describe the sun as being "angry".

Coming up on 9 years for me.聽 聽And.....loving it! (hat-tip to Maxwell Smart)

The day I decided I was leaving Canada for warmer digs, it was -40C (incidentally, -40 degrees is the only point where Celsius and Fahrenheit meet). If I ever go back to Canada it will probably be in a wooden crate, or an urn.

Looking forward to the soon-to-arrive rains here in the south of the country to cool things down a bit.

31C down in The Delta Region today, but feels like 40C Humidity is probably 100% and it's not raining yet.聽

Yeah, humidity is the real culprit

Speaking of heat, I was in BienHoa last night for fireworks, it was as high as 99.....

Thats actually a very nice city, but its always a little hotter than where I am now.

The humidity is quite uncomfortable. Time to start keeping the rolling papers in a plastic ziplock bag.

Also, it's the start of lychee season, the best time of year!

Any members have a report from up north? I read that yesterday Hanoi was at 41C (feels like 47!).

聽 聽 聽(yuck)

Currently in 膼脿 N岷祅g. Forecast calls for 36掳 soon, likely "feels like" about 46掳 (that's 114.8 degrees fahrenheit). It's VERY humid 馃サ
