The weather around this sunny spot of Thailand is known to be slightly warm and a little variable in the range of temperatures that goes between 39-40 degrees (celsius) most of the year. Nonetheless, weather conditions are dealt with full respect and consideration, all around Issan, and are the main focus and attention of the sweaty habitants all during the day ,and along the seasons.

 Therefore, no decent conversation could start without mentioning, usually with a tone of astonishment and wonder, how hot the weather is on that particular day ("wanni akaat loan mak mak, chai mai krap?").
