rain ended around 830am, and the rest of the day has been dry with partly to mostly cloudy skies. we're still watching a series of weak upper-level disturbances to our west, which could easily stir up more showers and storms as they move across the very moist airmass in place across the area. rainfall since 4pm yesterday has been almost 4"... by far the greatest 24 hour rainfall of 2010. today's high was held to only 23c/73f, and with the very humid, tropical air that is now settling into the area, our days of temps in excess of 30c are probably over until after the monsoon departs in september.
for the next several days, expect a few hours of sunshine here and there, increasing humidity, along with periods of showers and storms. the monsoon is still surging northwestward, and will gradually engulf all of himachal pradesh by early next week. this means that the potential for heavy rainfall will become greater and greater, and humidity levels in the 80-100% range will become more common. it won't be long til we are living in a perpetual fog bank!
