Sky conditions have been so variable and changeable recently that it's hard to keep track -- but we have partly cloudy skies at this moment, just before the sun attempts to peek above the Dhauladhars. There was some lightning around 4-430am, but at least at my location on Tushita Road here in the upper part of town, there has been no measurable rainfall since last report. I'm recording a low temp of 66.2F (19.0C), and the current humidity reading is 79%.
We're still in the midst of a slow, tedious, and rather complicated resurgence of deeper tropical moisture and atmospheric conditions which will eventually lead to the next phase of a more active monsoon. Yesterday's afternoon downpours delivered the heaviest rainfall since last Wednesday, and I'll be surprised if we don't see that trend toward heavier 24 hour rainfall totals continuing during the remainder of this week. For the first time this season, a deep east-southeasterly flow throughout all but the very highest layers of the atmosphere is developing -- and that's usually a very favorable heavy rain pattern for us.
Once the doses of heavier rain start coming, they should continue on and off through the weekend and beyond. It's normal to get about 12-18 hours of "reset" time after a particularly heavy dumping -- but it's definitely looking like a wet ending to the month of July.
