Local Water Levels Down
October 2003
October 2004
I'd estimate the entire lake water level is down a good two to three feet.
No need to panic just yet.
The peak rain months are July and August.
Sakon is growing,
water consumption is up.
Rains have been less than normal. No second rice crop in this area in 2013.

Google Map weather screenshots taken at 12 hr interval.   Most weather systems around us seem to be dissipating. Our weather is arriving from the south. There's some disagreement between forecaster sites when the rains will arrive. Thai Meteorology Department forecasts increased rain (70%) beginning Saturday. BBC and rp5: Sunday AccuWeather: Monday Wunderground and Meoweather: Tuesday Weather Channel: Isolated Thunderstorms almost daily. Until Sunday expect increased temperatures, peaking Saturday and Sunday. As the rains arrive and the days get cooler, expect night time temperatures to go up slightly (25C) |

Mozzie High Season in Thailand
The headlines read: "Sharp rise in dengue fever (in Thailand)."
A couple of my Thai friends have it. One is hospitalized.
There are variations to the trap
pictured in the video.
Tape instead of string facilitates easier cleaning.
I recommend adding sugar to extend
the life of the yeast.
It's the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation that's so enticing to mosquitos.
The trap really works.
That's the overnight collection
at my house.
Mosquitoes use their sense of smell to hunt after their prey.
Feet and ankles are a favorite.
Sweaty feet produce carbon dioxide. That cheesy smell is the attractant.
Wash your feet, apply repellant to exposed legs and ankles.
A diet of lot's of garlic and onions does not give you immunity. That's a myth.
If you've just eaten garlic, you wont be bothered by mosquitoes as long as you smell like an Italian salad, they'll be back as soon as the smell has dissipated.
Breath and sweat produce carbon dioxide CO2.
Standing water in the kitchen and bathroom are another mosquito favorite.
In the kitchen dish soap works for me.
Those blue cleaning tablets seem to work great in the toilet.
Dark places, dark clothing become resting and hiding places.
I sleep under an overhead fan. Mosquitos can't navigate too well in wind.
