200615 Hot Hot Hot returning

Heavy rains must have hit elsewhere in the province yesterday.  TMD reports nearly 3 inches. My bucket is an inch and a hair.

Appears rains are very scattered. An 8 am heavy shower forecast did not happen at the southend of town.

Scattered rains. You may have some, or you may not, but hot and humid temperatures are still in the offing. Fortysomething feels like by the weekend.

A phenomenon I call the doughnut hole, here looks more like a horseshoe. Occurs quite frequently

200614 Tony Richie Funeral in Tao Ngoi

Google map led us through a ten minute detour on the way to a temple in Tao Ngoi.  It was a complete circle. Keeping calm was a challenge.                                     

Once there I was offered what I thought was water, it wasn't.  It was the Thai version of white lightening.

Got dizzy a few times from the heat and blood pressure medicine. It's a side effect common to this medicine  I learned.

Cooled down once pouring cold water over my head.

Left the funeral probably a half hour early

Rainy season is approaching

Heard loud thunder seemed like coming from the southeast.
Just a trickle of rain at my house, rain lasted not more than a few minutes.
A pleasant temperature drop

200611 Real Rainy Season Approaching

During the heavier rainy season months most of our weather will arrive from the east, northeast, and southeast.  Much of that weather has to cross the mountain ranges in Vietnam and Laos.  Occasionally these mountain ranges cause weather approaching to make a sudden turn north or south
It's time to keep an eye on the weather in the Philippines, Hainan, and Hanoi to forecast what's coming at us

200531 My May timeline

Since I've shown friends how their phone is tracking them, many have turned off the feature.

I've left it on. For nearby shopping I don't bother taking my mobile phone for a ride.

Been following government 'recommendations' and stayed mostly at home.
To tell the truth, it was just too damn hot to be outdoors. Feels like I'm driving my motorcycle through an oven. 

Tracking also adds any photos I may have taken with my mobile.  Tracking does allow you to make modification or delete one or multiple items
