As forecast last week, scattered showers. Traveling to Ubon, most ricefields were bone dry. Occasionally we travelled through wet roads and light rains.

Sunday evening in Ubon the temperatures dropped quickly with a pleasant breeze, caused by a storm in the distance with lightning and thunder on the horizon.




Week ahead temperatures should drop slightly, mid 30's celsius. upper 90' fahrenheit.
Add 10 degrees for the humidity factor for the feels like temperature   
Scattered thunderstorms continue.  

From the looks of the weather maps, a direct hit today

Sakon Nakhon FC:

A day of a Snowflake in Hell

It was predestined that Sakon FC would not be winning against the number one team in the league.
It was more a matter of how bad the beating would be.
Earlier this year Udon trashed the number two team in the league, Nakhon Phanom 10-1.

What is even more noteworthy is that Ubon has not always been number one.

Sakon FC did their best, which made for an exciting game from start to finish.
By halftime Ubon had already 4 goals to their credit.
The scoreboard clock was not set correctly.
The game started at 6:09 pm.


         6:11 pm                       6:30 pm                       6:50 pm                    6:56 pm

The second half started at 7:17


       7:32 pm                      7:34 pm                      7:51 pm




Sakon Nakhon next hosts Sisaket on May 4. Game starts at 4 pm
With eight games played, Sisaket has won 3, lost 3, and had 2 draws.
If I were an oddsmaker, I'd say 50-50
