Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 65.3F (18.5C)
High temp: 70.7F (21.5C)
Rainfall: 0.20" (5mm) -- as of 5:00pm (update to follow)
The sunshine put on a performance today that was way below unsatisfactory. I really expected that we'd get more than just a few fleeting glimpses and glimmers... I'm also surprised that the humidity stayed above 90% all day, and that fog was so prevalent. As of this evening, I've received exactly the same rainfall total as yesterday -- so though there were several periods of showers and a long period of rumbling thunder during the mid-afternoon, there wasn't a lot in the rain gauge to show for it, at least in the upper part of town.
After more than 8" (20cm) of rain between last Sunday and Thursday, I've now recorded only just over an inch (2.5cm) since Friday. Our daily rainfall rate has taken a hit due to this slow-down, but we're now right around 32" (81.3cm) for the month of August. It's still likely that we'll end the month near to a bit above normal.
I have hope that we'll get a drop in humidity for a spell during the next 48 hours or so, allowing another nice period or two of sunshine. But, tropical moisture hanging tough right along the front slopes of the mountains will have to relinquish its grip for at least a few hours for that to happen.
