our low temperature this morning of 15.9C/60.6F is the coolest we've seen since 7 july.! we're waking up to another fog-less morning... although there are quite a few clusters of puffy cumulus clouds around, and even some random showers. the view from space shows a rather large area of rain/thunderstorms moving from pakistan into western kashmir... but it appears that it will remain to our north this morning.
it is nice to have good news to share... our monsoon-weary atmosphere will continue to dry out during the next few days. there is still the potential for a couple of hours of rain today (evidenced by the current light showers), thanks to a bit of leftover instability... but rain chances all but disappear on thursday through saturday. there will remain a risk of an afternoon shower or thundershower on those days, but the real headline will be: DRIER, SUNNIER, WARMER. however, the monsoon moisture lurking just to our south and east is not retreating permanently. by sunday, the humid and foggy conditions will start to return, along with increasing chances of rain.
by the way, our last day without MEASURABLE rain was way back on 23 july. the last day with NO rain (meaning, not even a sprinkle or a bit of drizzle) was 14 july. let's see if we can come up with at least one totally dry day before this week is out...
WEDNESDAY: a mix of clouds and sun, with warmer temps. still a good chance of a period of two of rain at some point in the day...
high: 22C (72F)
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: a shower possible in the evening, otherwise partly cloudy and rather cool.
low: 16C (61F)
THURSDAY: partly sunny and warmer. a random afternoon thundershower is possible.
high: 24C (75F)
FRIDAY: a good amount of sunshine... but some afternoon clouds could yield an isolated thundershower. warming trend continues...
high: 25C (77F)
SATURDAY: warm, with sunshine between periods of clouds. still that chance of a PM thundershower.
high: 26C (78F)
SUNDAY: a bit of morning sun, otherwise becoming cloudy and foggy with a better chance of showers.
high: 24C (75F)
