Subtle Seasonal Change

Seasonal change has arrived, somewhat subtle, but still noticeable.
School's out and the video shops are busy.

Weather forecast for the entire month of October:sunshine.
After the middle of the month the feels like temperatures tend to align with the real temperatures.

Weather direction seems to have changed, I heard the morning gong (6 am) from a distant temple for the first time in months.

The community announcements have resumed after a lengthy absence.

Insects and snakes also seem to be on the move.  My motorcycle helmet seems to be a favorite for mosquitoes.
