17c/63f and raining early this morning. rain began at around 930pm, and has continued non-stop all night long. 1.1" (2.8cm) had already fallen by 11pm last night... so the total overnight will most definitely be in excess of 2" (5cm)... official total will be posted later this morning.
**UPDATE** thanks to my good friends gerrie and mary and their highly professional precipitation monitoring skills> the rainfall tally up to 730am is 2.2".
areas of rain and thunderstorms cover a large part of northwest india just before sunrise. upper winds are very light, so movement of the cloud-bearing rains is very slow, or non-existent at times. that flow of rich, tropical air will continue today, so more periods of rain and thundershowers are likely. during monsoon time, breaks in the rain and peeks of sunshine only serve to fire up the atmosphere again for the next round of rainfall... and we will have a few of those breaks from time to time this week... only to be followed by more periods of heavy rain. temperatures will be quite cool, which is one of the PLUS factors of monsoon season...
