Banks closed Friday. Weather wet

July 1 is a bank holiday in Thailand.  If you must do banking in Sakon Nakhon, most branches at Robinson are open 7 days a week.    Weather direction for the last two days has been from the northeast.    That just changed and is arriving from the South.  Most likely that will change again.  Weather from the south, southwest, the east and northeast are doing a circular dance around us.    Noticed a few drains not doing what they should be doing, expect flooding in some areas. Interesting note.  Thai Meteorology Department posts a weather report of conditions during the last 24 hours.  The report includes the amount of rain during each three hour period.  During the period this morning from 1 am to 4 am, they recorded 0 rain.  I was up at 3 am and it was raining so heavy I could have filled a bucket in half an hour.  Logically it did not rain where the department is located (about a 7 minute drive from my house.  Obviously these statistics are limited to the immediate area of the weather station and not the province
