We have clouds, fog and some glimpses of sunshine early on this Friday morning. Things calmed down considerably overnight, after a very wet late afternoon and evening yesterday. I recorded only 0.14" (4mm) of additional rain since last report, but that brings the total since early Thursday morning up to 2.83" (7.2cm). From what I can see and hear, the gullies and nullahs have quieted down, but they were running very heavily last evening, at least here in my neighborhood. It's 64F (17.8C) with 100% humidity right now.
Earlier this week it was looking like August might just sputter out without much fanfare, but that has all changed during the past 72 hours or so, with a total of 4.29" (10.9cm) since Tuesday afternoon. We've still got two days left in the month, and there's a good chance we'll add even more to what has already turned into an above average August total. So... be prepared for more showers and possible thundershowers roaming the area today -- although I think our rain chances will diminish somewhat on Saturday.
Things look a little quieter, relatively speaking, on Sunday into Monday as well, before tropical moisture sloshes back up against the mountains again starting on Tuesday. Drier air has been making a valiant effort to push into parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and parts of Punjab, and will continue to do so. However, it's still not going to be enough to permanently dislodge monsoon conditions, especially not here in Himachal.
