Latest Rainfall statistics:
It is bright and pleasant early on this Sunday morning, as we enjoy what will probably be a rather brief period of sunshine. Showers tapered off overnight, skies gradually cleared, and I recorded an overnight low temp of 65.7F (18.7C).
Pockets of drier air linger in the mid- and upper-levels of the atmosphere across parts of north India, despite the juicy tropical moisture that is pretty firmly established at the surface. This is what has allowed us to get a few glimpses of the sun and blue skies from time to time over the last couple of days. Of course these breaks tend to be rather short-lived, as the sun only serves to warm up the lower levels and begin the condensation process -- leading to a rapid build-up of clouds, occasional fog and showers once again. Enjoy the sun, but be prepared for rapid changes, as we've already seen, both on Friday afternoon and again a couple of times on Saturday.
Since Tuesday, our daily rainfall average has been about 1.4" (3.6cm) -- some days we've had much more, some days much less, but that's what creates an average -- which is very "on track" for the monsoon season. Already, since Tuesday, we've received more rain than during all of May and June combined! And of course, we're only just getting started...
- Overnight - 0.32" (8mm)
- Since Saturday morning - 1.83" (4.6cm)
- Since Friday evening - 2.09" (5.3cm)
- Since Tuesday morning - 7.17" (18.2cm)
