Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

A general question. Did the UK ever use Fahrenheit for temp measurement instead of Celsius? I ask as I know many in the UK still like to use the old weights/measurements such as pounds/yards/acres etc., but I don't know if you ever used Fahrenheit as the US still does.

The answer is yes and many still do use F rather than C (and I’m not swearing!!)

They sure do.

When it's hot in UK people talk in 70's /80's and even 90's

I have a real problem with the sense of "feel" when I hear a temp in Celsius. I can't really relate to it. Give it to me in F and I know exactly what to expect for the day/night. Metric measurements and weights I'm fine with, no way with temp.

I had to look it up, but the UK officially changed from F to C back in 1962!!

I’m the same way, having grown up in the US, and I’m still trying to get accustomed to weights and measures too. I think that will come a lot quicker than the temp. I have tried the hack of doubling the Celsius temp and adding 30, but it doesn’t seem to be entirely accurate. Give me Fahrenheit every time. It seems more precise.

Lots of ominous clouds and the loud rumble of thunder up here in Hin Lek Fai, behind the driving school.

EDIT: wow and now some loud thunder cracking overhead! No rain yet, but I’m sure it’s coming.

same loud bangs Soi 94(Beach)

i have my doubts about rain though.....

[GroveHillWanderer]

Plenty of long rumbles of thunder and even some lightning in Soi 106 but no signs of actual rain. Which is often the way at this end of town.

I think you’re right. Those clouds have almost entirely passed, with not a drop spilt.

I was very surprised at the really loud thunder earlier. At first I thought someone had turned up the TV as the sun was still shining in a blue sky.
I could see the menacing clouds over HH but nothing materialised.

Looking north from the traffic light end of 112, I could see fork lightening and hear the thunder, then a bit later, we got a reasonable fall of rain for about 40 minutes. Must have started about 17.30.

[HHTel]

Of course at the Petcha end we were audio only!

Woke up to rumblings of thunder earlier.

Just had a look outside, there's evidence of nothing more than a small shower.

Looking West to Hin Lek Fai now looks quite promising...
