The rain had stopped just prior to game time (4pm Saturday)
I was very tempted to attend the game, especially since a favorite player of mine had recently returned to the team.
No rain coat and still in recovery mode I stayed home and awaited telephone score reports.
Sakon FC was ahead by 1 at halftime and won the game 2-0. The win was to be expected with homefield advantage.
An apparently little known fact is that Sakon FC always seems to perform better during the rainy season when the field is full of water holes.
Sakon FC Next travels to Sisaket for a game there next Saturday. Sisaket is one place above Sakon Nakhon in the Division standings. When the two teams met locally in May, the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
This can be another Sakon Nakhon win

Update: Rammasun headed West
For a while yesterday I cranked up the air conditioner looking at the bright sun outside wondered "where's the rain (and the cooler temperatures)?"
Even though wind speeds of up to 160 km/h have been reported, the storm seems to be traveling quite slow, moving at barely 20 km/h
Images from yesterday am and today am on GOOGLE EARTH, show how slow moving this storm is.
Local weather, including this early morning's rain seems to be coming from the North East (Hanoi) toward us. NOAA MTSAT gives a clear view of the direction
