Have been having a nightmare of a time getting/staying online, ever since last evening. Not sure if it's an Idea 3G netsetter issue or something else. Anyway, finally getting to the posting page after being unsuccessful all morning.
There was yet another spell of significant rainfall overnight -- most of it coming during the very early morning hours. I measured 0.99" (2.5cm) here in the upper part of town. Add that to yesterday's 3.62" (9.2cm), and that gives us a hefty 4.61" (11.7cm) in less than 30 hours' time. There are actually some nice breaks in the overcast now, with the temperature hovering near 65F (18C), and humidity fluctuating between 90 and 97%.
Ever since the tap got turned on again, back on Sunday afternoon, it has been hard to turn it off. There continue to be subtle hints of a drying trend as we head through the next several days, but that doesn't mean rain chances will disappear altogether. Average daily humidity should be coming down a bit -- perhaps into the 80% range. An hour or two of sunshine here and there should be a little easier to come by. BUT -- there will be enough of a monsoon character to this atmosphere to keep us under the gun for occasional showers and even some heavy downpours at times, so keep that in mind. If we do manage to get some decent sunshine, temperatures will be warmer than we've seen since the very beginning of the month.
