It is partly cloudy at sunrise on this Monday morning. Humidity is 90%, and the temperature here at my location is a rather mild 62.5F (16.9C) to start the day. I've recorded no rainfall overnight, just a trace in the past 24 hours, and only 0.40" (1cm) in the past four days. I know there has been a lot of variability with regard to rainfall amounts around the area since the start of October, but here in the upper part of McLeod, the last four days have been the driest since our seven days without measurable rain back in the third week of September.
This morning's weather charts continue to show the same scenario dominating northern India, with little evidence of a "game-changer". A massive area of high pressure in the upper atmosphere is sitting overhead, and will strengthen even further today and Tuesday before it slips off to the east by late Wednesday. As I've said a few times, a huge, stable weather feature like this would provide lots of sunny and dry weather for us -- if it weren't for the very moist air mass which remains locked in at the lower levels. All of this stagnant surface moisture which has provided us with clouds and fog for the majority of our daylight hours for the past many many days is still not showing the slightest signs of being nudged out of here. Daily average humidity will remain in the 75-80% range (or higher) until perhaps the very end of the week, which means we're in for more murkiness.
Shower potential is the wild card during the next few days. As I mentioned above, rainfall amounts have been very spotty and generally quite sparse since late last week. However, computer models are showing a bit of a flare-up of shower/thundershower action for the mid-week period -- perhaps between Tuesday evening and Thursday night -- so it's probably a good idea to continuing toting the umbrella along if you have to be out and about.
