Weather Warnings continue almost daily

"Heavy Rain and Flash Flood" weather warnings from the Thai Meteorological Department continue on an almost daily basis. The latest one is here

High humidity expected this weekend has been delayed until later this week.
AccuWeather predicts FEELS LIKE  temperatures reaching 115 this Thursday and 116 on Friday.

Some areas are flooded more than others. 
At last nights football game the field resembled a wading pool.  I wanted to ask if there was a lifeguard on duty.
Here in Muang Sakon flooding has been minimal.  Many other parts of Thailand aren't that lucky.
ISAAN STYLE has some photographs of local flooding here and here.

Flooding is is part of the Thai way of life.  It happens quite frequently.
During a visit to a temple in Ayuthea in 1995 we had to hire boats to get from the road across temple grounds to see parts of the temple not submerged.
