the fluctuations... (pm.26.jun.12)>

We have a mix of sun and clouds across the area early this evening, along with fairly pleasant temps, and humidity which has dropped again.  A period of showers and thundershowers did erupt late this morning (around 11:20am), and lasted until about 2:30pm -- but rainfall in the upper part of town only amounted to 0.21" (5mm).  I recorded a high temp of just 79.0F (26.1C), thanks to the showers providing an interruption of the sunshine right in the middle of the day.

The weather pattern we're experiencing right now is much more characteristic of the middle of June, instead of the final days of the month.  This is classic pre-monsoon -- fluctuating humidity, thundershowers which appear quickly, but then give way to sunshine just as quickly, along with temperatures which can swing up and down in a matter of a few minutes.  There is still no indication that genuine monsoon conditions will advance into our part of India during the next week at least, so we'll have to live with this "in-between" situation for a while longer.

It still looks like there could actually be a decrease in average humidity, along with an increase in temperatures over the coming weekend.  Thundershowers can't be ruled out on any given day, but rain chances may be quite slim as we cross from June into July...
