sunday morning>

there are only a few scattered clouds around early this morning... so it looks like we'll get a good amount of sunshine for a few hours, before the fog and clouds thicken up. the temp is currently 17C/63F.

**update** 8:18am>well... we got only about an hour of sun, and already clouds have taken over...

we've now had about 48 hours with only a few tenths of an inch (6-7mm) of rain... but how long can it last? the view from space still shows absolutely nothing going on across northern india, although there are several huge clusters of rain and thunderstorms over much of pakistan, but showing little movement. this is why flooding can be a big problem during monsoon season... the upper level winds are very light, and areas of rain and storms and can sit over the same area for hours and hours at a time. at any rate... sunshine this morning will warm things up a bit and destabilize the atmosphere enough to bring us a better chance of some (possibly heavy) showers as we move into the afternoon today. then it appears that the potential for moderate to heavy rain will continue to increase throughout the coming week...
