We have been subjected to dire warnings from the UN this week that the upcoming El Nino could be the hottest ever and will spark extreme weather, creating havoc around the world. It's a bit ironic that something with such an innocent-sounding name (Spanish for "little boy") could cause so much concern.
The El Nino report is not great news. It's hot enough in Thailand as it is, so we could really do without El Nino's assistance in making it even more steamy. Thankfully in this kingdom in recent weeks, after a long hot spell Jupiter Pluvius has once again come to our rescue with its supporting cast and chorus of thunderstorms which have been most welcome.
