Sakon Nakhon Weather Service

Always wondered where the local weather service is located.
Actually had driven past the place a number of times and suspected that's where it is.  But I was never quite sure.

Recently read an article which indicated that the local weather station was located at the military base outside the city.

Asked Martin (Pit stop Cafe) to explore.
The weather station on the army base is a substation which provides information to the local airport control tower.

Sakon Nakhon's main weather station is located near the Provincial Office complex.

As Martin explains it, the crew at the station welcomed him and gave him a personal tour of the place.

The weather station updates information at regular intervals, as in the image below.
I've added descriptions of the rain condition colors on the side.
The blue you see on the map are lakes, rivers and ocean, not light rain
