BIG NEWS... our three day drought has come to an end. i am showing 0.55" (1.4cm) in my rain gauge this morning, most of it from a thundershower between 230 and 330am. will look forward to reports from near the main temple and naddi later this morning. currently, we have partly cloudy skies and a mild temp of 18C/64F.
**UPDATE @815am** rainfall overnight near the main temple was 0.40" (1cm).
last night i was talking about how the atmosphere had been "deadly stable" for the last few days. well... the rainfall overnight indicated that that situation is gradually changing. although none of the computer models were forecasting significant rains until tuesday, it is clear that we are already easing back into a wetter pattern. the moisture is abundant... it is mid- and upper-level dynamics that we need to crank up the rains again, and those conditions will become more apparent each day this week. there will still be a few periods of sunshine here and there, but even the sun will start to disappear again toward the middle and latter parts of the week...
