It's a grey and gloomy Thursday morning out there with some random sprinkles of rain and humidity very close to 100%. There have been a couple of very light rain showers since about 4:00am or so, but my rain gauge shows only 0.06" (2mm) overnight. The temperature is 65F (18C) to start the day.
We've got a pretty good blob of tropical moisture sitting over most of Himachal Pradesh, which should lend itself to more periods of showers and possible thundershowers between now and Friday evening. I'll be surprised if rainfall amounts are over 1.5 to 2 inches (4-5cm) during the next 36 hours, but we'll definitely just have to watch to see what may or may not develop during that time frame. We've already gone past 33" (83cm) for August, so it's almost a done deal that we'll end the month right in the normal range.
The general moisture profile of the atmosphere is going to thin out again as we head through the weekend into early next week. That should allow some periods of lower humidity and perhaps some more appreciable glimpses of sunshine. However, the ever-present risk of scattered rain showers will remain, especially during the afternoon hours.
