Don’t know if the extended warmth is good or bad for them. Maybe good since early alpine freeze would force them down to find more food before hibernation? Idk And that was only one of the two bears I saw today! I assume the berries were attracting them. 1 Quote It's called clown range for a reason.

smerfylicious Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I'm just going to vent for a brief moment. It's been a month of smoke at my house, with US 2 being intermittently closed (which that part is fine by me, no pass traffic). I'm sick of it. Just need one decent wet system to run through and it just won't, and there's no relief in sight. This sucks and I kinda really hate it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuching is deep in the ITCZ, they have a tropical rainforest rather than seasonal monsoon climate with heavy rain every month of the year. They are impacted by the NE monsoon though and that really kicks off in Nov - Mar. Intense afternoon thunderstorms are basically a guarantee there. I'm also visiting Thailand before heading back and they're more impacted by the SW monsoon and the NE monsoon usually rips through quickly in October, so will probably be drier by then. Apparently much of SE Asia has had an intense monsoon season this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
