If you think it's been hot the last month or so, then you may not enjoy next year. This is from a recent Economist:

Over the next few years the
growing level of human driven
warming will be amplified further by natural, but
transient, changes.
The biggest of those variations is the El
Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a natural
cycle of warming and cooling in the waters
of the eastern Pacific ocean that has
widespread effects on the climate. The
world has just seen three consecutive “La
Niña” years, the name given to the cooler
phase of the cycle, helping hold global
temperatures down. It now seems almost
certain that a warmer “El Niño” phase will
begin sometime later this year, setting up
2024 to be a scorcher. (One reason for the
2016 record is that the year coincided with
an especially strong El Niño.)

Make that VERY heavy rain and enough thunder and lightning to scare the bejeesus out of @forcebwithu 's wee scabby dog ...

I've been up for an hour too. Couldn't fall back to sleep with the ongoing thunder and our scabby dog hyperventilating from the sound.

Hope you're staying dry.

Yep, 3am, thunder, lightning and quite heavy rain !!

Been up in Chiang Mai all week but I could tell from the state of my balcony there had been a big downpour in my absence.
