Both clouds and sunshine are on the scene early this morning, and there were a few sprinkles of rain at my place on Tushita Road just below the mountaineering center just recently. The rain gauge shows barely enough to measure -- perhaps 0.01" (less than 1mm) overnight, and I've had a low temp of 63.7F (17.6C). The humidity reading is 77%.
The really thick tropical moisture that has been with us for most of this week has been attempting to retreat a bit since last evening. Data shows that the average moisture content of our air mass will be slightly lower through the weekend until about Monday afternoon/evening. This may not mean a lot for us, as a couple of the computer models are still showing some significant development of rain showers across our area during the next few days anyway. I think we're deep enough into the season now that we won't see more than a very temporary easing of monsoon conditions now and then, with moderate to heavy rainfall never more than a day or two away. Even now as I type, thick fog has suddenly drifted up against my hillside!
It seems to me that we've had more glimpses of sunshine than we normally are able to enjoy by the latter half of July -- in spite of the fact that our total rainfall for the month is now running comfortably ahead of the normal pace. The way it looks, we should easily end the month with normal to above normal rainfall.
