Major seasonal changes are in progress, as a rather strong disturbance in the upper-atmosphere moves through, and sweeps the deep and rich tropical moisture to our south and east. The driest air in many weeks will be flowing into the area during the latter part of this week, allowing humidity levels to drop into the comfort zone.
Every year during these waning days of the monsoon season we get occasional heavy showers/thundershowers popping up all of a sudden, which can be frustrating. Be aware of that possibility as we head into the weekend... but the bigger picture indicates that we're definitely into the transition phase OUT of Monsoon 2012. This is happening only slightly behind the normal schedule this year, and quite a bit earlier than what we experienced last year.
I'm still in Cambodia, where we've had a couple of dry and semi-sunny days, after massive amounts of rain during the past couple of weeks. I've experienced my share of heavy rain during the monsoon season in McLeod, but the volume of rain over here is incomprehensible... on the order of 5-10" (10-25cm) per day!!
