Weather ... Here and There

Today as we worked in our office we received a phone call. Elder Oveson has finally received his official Cambodian Driver's License! This means we needed to make a trip to the Mission office this afternoon. We thought maybe we would drop the car a few blocks away from the Mission home to get it washed and take a walk .... that is until we left our air conditioned office and went outside.  Back home in Utah the thermometer reading 38 to 40 degrees may just require adding a jacket. Here, when the thermometer says 38 to 40 degrees, think again about taking a walk in the sun.

According to our Weather app, South Jordan was 45, and about the same time Phnom Penh was 99 (or 38 C) and, with today's high at 104 (or 40 C). Today's low was 79 F. No wonder the office was extra warm even with the air going all day.

Tomorrow should be a little cooler, with 80% chance of thunder showers. We will take the cooler. We are just not so sure about the humidity that will come with the rain.  We are grateful to know that this month is the hottest of the year and it is almost over.  Even though Cambodia is in the Northern hemisphere, it is only a little above the equator.  And the rainy season that is suppose to start in May cools off the temperatures.

We are still finding plenty to do at the office.  Elder Oveson made the statement when he retired from work that the one thing he would not miss was calling people about late payments.  Today he spent several hours preparing and calling PEF participants about late payments.  What goes around, comes around.
