Thursday's stats:
Low temp: 62.6F (17.0C)
High temp: 68.7F (20.4C)
Rainfall since midnight: 0.72" (1.8cm)
We're in the midst of a gorgeous, comfortable evening, as the sun sinks toward the western horizon. It's been yet another day of extremes, with a mix of clouds, fog and sun early this morning yielding to an extended period of light to moderate rain between about 10:45am and 3:30pm, and then a return to sunshine late this afternoon. Rainfall since late morning amounted to 0.68" (1.7cm), making up the vast majority of the day's total. We didn't make it anywhere close to the projected high temp of 73F, thanks to that mid-day rain.
Efficient laundry-drying is quite a complicated science these days, depending on whether you have eastern or western exposure, and are able to be home at the right time to salvage the situation when the sun disappears and the rain descends -- or vice versa. These are changeable times, which is quite normal during the last several weeks of the official monsoon season. Different air masses are competing for territory now, as some marginally drier air drifts in from the west, only to encounter stubborn tropical moisture in place along the leading edge of the mountains and other parts of north India.
All I can say is the same thing I've been saying for a few days now -- expect some periods of nice sunshine and lower humidity alternating with other periods of clouds and thick fog, along with the likelihood of some sudden showers and/or thundershowers. Daily rainfall totals have been decreasing steadily since Monday, but it's wise to factor in at least a couple of hours of rainy weather each day as we progress through the weekend into early next week.
