Sakon Nakhon

Unlikely but not impossible

With the Saturday games completed, the Sakon FC has moved up from 10th to 9th place in the league without playing.    Still hoping that a live stream will pop up around game time today when Sakon Nakhon faces Ubon, 6 pm this evening, otherwise I'll be limited to live updates SMM tv  AIS live score The outcome of the game is uncertain. A Sakon Nakhon win is highly unlikely, but not impossible. Ubon Ratchathani is #2 in the league, has lost only one of 14 games played Sakon Nakhon Team has at least 5 hours on the road before game time  On the bright side, the one game Ubon lost 3-1 was against Khon Kaen on May 1 Sakon Nakhon FC defeated Khon Kaen 1-0 on May 20 in a home game Sakon Nakhon scores against Khon Kaen

Banks closed Friday. Weather wet

July 1 is a bank holiday in Thailand.  If you must do banking in Sakon Nakhon, most branches at Robinson are open 7 days a week.    Weather direction for the last two days has been from the northeast.    That just changed and is arriving from the South.  Most likely that will change again.  Weather from the south, southwest, the east and northeast are doing a circular dance around us.    Noticed a few drains not doing what they should be doing, expect flooding in some areas. Interesting note.  Thai Meteorology Department posts a weather report of conditions during the last 24 hours.  The report includes the amount of rain during each three hour period.  During the period this morning from 1 am to 4 am, they recorded 0 rain.  I was up at 3 am and it was raining so heavy I could have filled a bucket in half an hour.  Logically it did not rain where the department is located (about a 7 minute drive from my house.  Obviously these statistics are limited to the immediate area of the weather station and not the province

Forecasters predicted chance of 'water waiting to be drained (flooding),' but they were off on the timing. Forecast for Monday, the  heavy rains arrived late Sunday afternoon.  It was right after Sakon Nakhon FC scored against Udon. Rain has always been a talisman, a lucky charm for Sakon Nakhon Football This Week  Chance of rain diminishes a little bit more each day, cloudy with sunbreaks. humidity will add 10° feels like to temperatures  of low 30's C.

Things to do today

Noon  Funeral services for Kevin Dawson at Wat Sutthawat      4 pm Sakon FC hosts Udon FC  at Rajabhat University Stadium  Don't expect a Sakon win.  Udon is number one in the league.  Udon players arrived in town on Saturday and stayed at the Sakon Grand Palace Hotel.  Obviously a team with money Early afternoon rain is in the forecast. Game time may be overcast.  The heavy rain forecast later at night and especially on Monday, starting early in the morning.  Meanwhile I have again been asked to sponsor a local teen futsal team for games next month.  These games are to be held out of town, so I will be expecting a road trip or two around mid July
