Delay of hot season 😙

"Scattered" thunderstorms one or two days. or all week . . . 
Depends on which forecaster you follow.


Thai Meteorology Department
: "today and every day next week"   
Accuweather: "Monday, Thursday and Friday"
BBC: "all week except Thursday
Wunderground: "Tuesday,Wednesday, Saturday"


System arriving from the west.  Sakon City seems to be at the south edge of the system.  But that can change





images 5 am
Noteworthy:  the system seems to increase humidity, thus the feels like temperatures will be hot some days

There may be a day of rain end of March, otherwise not much of a spring rain in the local forecasts yet

At age 81 dust is becoming a noticeable problem. If there is any doubt. I sweep a four meter pathway every day, and every day there's a pile of dust. Pictured are three days piles
After encoutering facial skin problems, especially pimples on my nose, I started washing my face at least four times a day in hot water to open pores, then use rubbing alcohol cautiously on my face and neck for cleaning. Pictured is the early morning face rinse after getting out of bed
Due to the dust in the air, I have a severe sleeping problem. Wake up during the night with a very dry throat from breathing through my mouth because my nose is clogged. First night with a air purifier, very minimal dry throat
