Had cloudy and cool all day in Kalasin Province with a little light rain. The dogs have enjoyed sitting out on the grass. Early and from evening on it's felt almost cold enough to put a shirt on.

The Met Office here do make me laugh.  It never was a Cat 4 and is far away from being a Cat 3.  They really should learn more!!!

Category 4 is the second-highest hurricane classification category on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale, and storms that are of this intensity maintain maximum sustained winds of 113–136 knots (130–156 mph, 209–251 km/h). ... Category 4 storms are considered extreme hurricanes.

The wind speed on the synoptic chart shows less than 50 km/h.

At 10.00 a.m. LST on 29 October, the category 2 (depression) over the Middle China Sea or latitude 11.5 degree north, longitude 115.0 degree east. With maximum sustained winds of 55 km/hr It is moving west at a speed of 15 km/hr, expectedly to make landfall over the South of Vietnam on 30 Oct, 2019 then move to Cambodia in the next few days.

 It will more than likely just turn into a rain bearing depression.

You could look at "Location". If you do not know where that is I suggest you download Google Earth.
