The sun is visible as it rises over the Dhauladars early on this Friday morning -- for the first time (at sunrise) since last weekend. There was heavy dew this morning though, which is indicative of humidity which remains close to 100%. I recorded no additional rainfall overnight, and the low temperature has been 66.0F (18.9C).
This morning's sunshine probably won't last for long, due to the great amount of moisture in the air which should quickly condense out into clouds and fog. Our winds aloft have turned back to the west, for the most part, and that has allowed the return of some drier air in the mid- and upper-levels of the atmosphere. This situation should continue through Saturday, which may provide us with a few sunny breaks, and keep us from spending as much time at or near the point of full saturation, as we've experienced most of the time since last Sunday afternoon. Despite that, there is still a very good chance of shower and thundershower development at any time, so keep the umbrella handy.
The super-juicy, deep tropical moisture will reclaim its territory by Sunday, and that will lead to our next rather strong phase of monsoon conditions for at least the first half of next week. I think it's likely that we'll pick up another 6-8" (15-20cm) of rain by the end of the month -- that would land us near 30" (76cm), which is still only about 75% of normal for July.
