No major storm coming this way,
Sakon Nakhon Airport reopens,
ten days required for flood draining



A weather system arriving from the north is weakening in strength

We seem to be getting the outer edges of this system.
Morning and afternoon scattered showers

Silly question
"why they don't go to school today?"

Flood danger has not passed

Water is receding at a much slower rate, there is continued fear that (lake) Nong Hahn will extend in size and reach parts of the city again. 
 Daily chance of rain still high, but nothing of major proportions as in past days

Sakon Nakhon July Flood 2017 the facebook collection

What I find somewhat intriguing is the flood of 2013 was also at the end of July

The flood of 2017, worst in at least a decade

June 25, 2017

9:30 AM July 28 overflowed 15 minutes after this picture
Uncovered my drain which serves many of my gutters. It's at a standstill and rising.  Got about another inch to go.  Probably in the flood zone by this afternoon

No end in sight yet


This weather system has been doing a counterclockwise circle dance for the past 24 hours and is not getting tired yet. Hourly rain chance 80 to 95% all day and through much of Saturday. My non scientific rain measure retained five inches of water for the last 24 hours 6 am.  Quite windy at times, causing trees to topple
