Heavy rains create temporary flooding
Sunday I had predicted the next major weather system to hit the area would be Tuesday.
Rain Tuesday evening was so heavy that some areas experienced kneeehigh water levels on local streets

Say no evil, write no evil,
The National Council for Peace and Order issued an order late Friday prohibiting criticism by anyone on all forms of media against the operations of the junta and its personnel. It also asked media operators and "any other individuals" to refrain from disseminating content banned by the military government, including news and information that could create resistance against the junta.
National News Bureau of Thailand order No. 97/2557

Sakon FC wins over Mukdahan FC 2 - 0
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

An updated weather alert at Thai Meteorological Department TMD now expects the effects of the storm over Sakon Nakhon during July 18 and 19.
