A little self-centred? ..... or is that the 'new normal' these days?

Just spoke to the missus In Foi rai, 25 kms S/east from phon pisa, no storm, wind, nothing, could do with rain, getting a bit desperate for the rice planting.

It is the start of rainy season. I kinda think this is pretty normal, although after last years lack of any real rain people may have forgotten what a normal season is.

This evening has seen a pretty decent amount of rain in Isaan, I'm currently watching a deluge outside, much to the disgust of my cat who seems to think it's my fault she cant go outside for her normal routine!

Hope everyone is alright

My cat is much the same , came in yesterday afternoon at 3.30 , 5 mins later it poured down , I think she can here it coming from a long way off. She too looked at me like it was my fault for the much needed rain. Don't forget GinBoy Dogs have owners ,cats have staff. Must go before this gets removed and sent to scratching post.

Climate Change . The climate has been changing ever since time began. Wonder how old this villager was, and how long he had lived there? I never experienced a hurricane until I moved to the Gulf Coast. I thought wow, the climate sure has changed! When there is no rain or 'normal' thunderstorms people chatter climate change. When there is a storm or rain oh...it has to be climate change.

Well said brother, Kudos to ya!

From Amphur Muang Nong Khai: Last night the wind was for a relatively short time. Much worst yesterday. In the evening soft rain. Heavy rain this morning. Now, 1230 it is cloudy, a bit cooler than yesterday and humid.

I live in MUANG N.K and yes we did have a bit of rain last night and again this morning , but it is rainy season here ?

I've seen more rain in the uk during summertime than we received here last night !
