Friday's stats:
Low temp: 63.5F (17.5C)
High temp: 74.7F (23.7C)
Rainfall since midnight: 0.71" (1.8cm)
It's mostly cloudy this evening, although we should see a few glimpses of the sun to the west as it goes down during the next hour or so. This morning's sunny skies were a sight to behold, with humidity dropping briefly to around 60% around 11:00am. But right on cue, the clouds and fog started developing as the noon hour approached, which led to a brief but very heavy period of rain between about 1:30 and 2:00pm. I had just less than 3/4 of an inch at my location on Tushita Road in the upper part of town, but almost all of that occurred in just 20 minutes or so. There were a few peeks of sun thereafter, but not nearly as much as we enjoyed this morning. My high temp (above) was the warmest since the end of July!
People are getting so anxious to be finished with the monsoon season... and this is the stage of the game when it gets difficult, and it's easy to be impatient. We've been getting teased with the sun and blue skies, along with periods of lower humidity recently, but it all comes crashing down when the fog rolls in and the rain begins to fall again. It is still way too early to begin fantasizing about the monsoon's withdrawal -- so we just have to get used to the extreme variability of conditions, since it will likely be with us for at least another 3 weeks or so, unless we get really lucky.
Expect the back-and-forth between sun, clouds, fog, and rain showers to continue through the weekend. Then, we could actually slip back into a pattern where we see higher humidity, more fog, and very little sun as next week unfolds.
