Hotter period seems to be lasting longer



Looking at thermometer photos I have, we've had these hot temperatures before. 
What seems to have changed is the hotter period is lasting longer.

Expect to see these high temperatures till the end of  April.             May will bring 'slight' relief. 

Second season (spring) rice crop may not happen due to anticipated extended drought.

Later on we will begin the transition from El Niño to La Niña.

240327 Free stuff at the temple then lunch with friends

How this works: 
The temple gets a bunch of volunteer donors together. 
Donors get assigned spaces to give away free food, drink and snacks to all visitors.
Hot soups, noodles (cooked or fried), bags of candy and chips, or cookies. A large variety of juices and pops.
There were a few pay as you go games available.  I will need some dart throwing practice.    Especially memorable to me was many people welcomed me

Facebook: Sakon Nakhon Farang (Falang)

There are 30 Sakon Nakhon related Facebook pages I follow and visit frequently, thanks to google translate.

This time I decided to open all westerner pages from 'People You May Know.'

Some people I've met, many I have not met.  Many had mutual friends.  It was interesting to quickly scroll through their posts.

Always wondered how many foreigners live in the area. Seems plenty

The air we breathe

Smog and dust has been on the increase since mid February,
I'd suspect this will continue until there is some heavy rain.
Humidity is on the increase, which seems to make the smog more noticeable.

*** May require more frequent air conditioner maintenance
