When will the Extreme Heat and Humidity End
In the almost 5 years that I have lived in Penang I do not remember the weather being so hot and humid. Even the locals say that the weather is more severe than they can remember. It seems like for the paast couple of months there has been little rain to speak of. When it does rain briefly the humidty skyrockets and the oppresive heat continues.

Four Years and Counting
People always say that as you grow older time speeds up. I have now lived in Malaysia for over 4 years. To me it seems such a short time though. One of the biggest fears I had was that I would have trouble getting used to the clmate, with it's constant heat and humidity.
After 4 years I think that this year has been hotter and more humid than any time since I have lived here. Even my local friends say it is unusually hot and humid. I thought I was getting used to the climate and was rather proud of myself for putting up with it. Now I am not sure if I am aclimating or not. I guess I will have to give it another few years.
