The local drought seems at an end, don't dilly dally, put the green thumb to work
Temperatures have dropped to normal rainy season temperatures. It's that ideal time of the year to plant fruit and vegetable which survive better without the extreme heat.         |

Troubles ahead
Agriculture:
Drought is beginning to cause havoc on availability of local fruit and vegetables. No problem with higher priced imports
Tourism:
The numbers of arrivals are up, but most likely does not translate into increased revenue. Group tourism tends to create less revenue
I am reminded a few years back, bars which lacked customers raised their prices in hopes of making up lost revenue. Many bars closed
It all adds up to less tax revenue, most likely tax increases or new taxes may be in the works.

Expect shortages and associated price increases
Farm produce exports will most likely decrease noticeably

Chinese tour promoters are demanding major discounts from hotels
The drought most likely will also have an impact on tourism venues related to river and canal tours
Increased numbers of tourists requires increased water use.
